UnitingCare’s Seniors Enquiry Line is proud to support Privacy Awareness Week (6 to 12 May 2024).
The week provides a great opportunity to consider what you can do to ‘power up’ privacy, either for yourself or in your business or organisation.
This year’s theme focuses on privacy and technology and the key principles of transparency, accountability and security – but what do these principles mean in practice?
Transparency: If you are asked to provide your personal information or consent, think about privacy. What is being asked for, and how will it be used?
Accountability: Our personal data encapsulates who we are – the requirements for protecting it should be high. Expect accountability from organisations that hold this information.
Security: The best thing you can do for your personal information security is to be mindful, and informed. Know your options, understand the technology you are using, and think before you act.
