Question 1

Does my business actually need to comply with the Privacy Act?

Accepted Answer

If you collect personal information from customers — names, emails, phone numbers — and the small business exemption is removed, yes. The reforms target virtually all Australian businesses that interact with customers.

Question 2

Is the PrivacyScore assessment really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely. 15 questions, instant score, top risks — all free, no account required. We only charge if you want the tailored Privacy Policy document.

Question 3

How is the Privacy Policy tailored to my business?

Accepted Answer

We use your assessment answers to understand what data you collect, how you store it, and what processes you have in place. It generates a policy that reflects your actual situation, not a generic template.

Question 4

Is the generated Privacy Policy legally compliant?

Accepted Answer

The policy is designed to align with the Australian Privacy Principles and references the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). It is a tailored starting point — we recommend having a lawyer review it before publishing, especially if you collect sensitive information.
