Privacy Policy

The Information Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act) was enacted on 1 July 2009, repealing Information Standard 42 - Information Privacy (IS42).

The IP Act contains the 11 Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) previously endorsed under IS42, which requires Queensland Mines and Energy to adhere to, and responsibly manage the collection, use, storage and disclosure of 'personal information'.

The IP Act has also transferred across the access and amendment provisions of personal affairs from the now repealed Freedom of Information Act 1992. Under the IP Act you can request a copy of a document, a part of a document or an extract from a document that relates to your own personal information.

To seek access to a document relating to your personal information or if you are concerned that your privacy has not been dealt with in accordance with the IPPs, you can visit the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation's Information Privacy home page.
