🚨 Retailer - Bunnings Breaches Privacy Laws in Australia: Landmark Ruling on Facial Recognition Technology 🚨 The Privacy Commissioner in Australia has found that Bunnings interfered with the privacy of hundreds of thousands of customers by using facial recognition technology without proper consent. Despite Bunnings’ claim that the technology was used to protect staff and customers from violent and organized crime, the Commissioner ruled this as an unjustifiable invasion of privacy. Key Points: 🔸 Facial data is considered highly sensitive biometric information under Australian law. 🔸 Customers weren’t informed or asked for consent when their faces were scanned. 🔸 Bunnings has been ordered to destroy all collected data and not to repeat this practice. This decision sets a powerful precedent for businesses using surveillance technology in Australia. While security is critical, it must be balanced with privacy rights. 🔑 Takeaway for Organizations: The case is a reminder that privacy and transparency are non-negotiable when adopting new technologies.

Cybersecurity frameworks like ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are universal, right? Not always. 🌐 Geopolitical factors can create unique regulatory environments: The EU’s GDPR enforces strict data privacy rules. The U.S. has evolving cybersecurity mandates, such as the CMMC. China’s cybersecurity law imposes strict local storage requirements. Understanding these frameworks in a global context isn’t optional—it’s critical for success. 🔍 Are you considering geopolitical risks in your risk assessments?

Are you planning to undertake a project that involves the use of personal data? You may need to conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment to ensure the rights of data subjects are protected and not negatively affected by the project. #dataprotection #privacy
