About this template
What is this template?
This is a public-facing policy document detailing data handling practices. It is not a set of internal data protection procedures or a staff privacy notice. It contains specific mandatory disclosures for automated decision-making and AI model training.
When should you use it?
Use this when you operate a business in Australia and need to comply with APP 1. Use a GDPR Privacy Policy instead if your primary focus is European Union residents.
