What is APP (Australian Privacy Principles)?
Operations, IT, cybersecurity. A plain-English definition for Australian business owners.
The 13 APPs set out under the Privacy Act 1988 cover open and transparent management of personal information (APP 1), anonymity and pseudonymity (APP 2), collection (APP 3-5), use and disclosure (APP 6-9), data quality and security (APP 10-11), and access and correction (APP 12-13).
Compliance requires documented practices, a privacy policy, and operational controls — not just policy statements.
In a connected back office this sits with the Operations hub, where Valont runs it support, cybersecurity and cloud systems for Australian SMEs as one team. The full definition set is on the glossary.
