Document background
The Data Transfer Addendum is a critical legal instrument used to supplement existing agreements where personal or sensitive data transfer is required between parties. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to establish formal arrangements for data sharing, whether within Australia or across borders, ensuring compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles. The addendum addresses essential aspects such as data security measures, breach notification procedures, and compliance requirements. It is particularly relevant in scenarios involving cloud services, outsourcing arrangements, or group company data sharing, where personal data protection must be guaranteed. The document includes detailed specifications for technical and organizational measures, sub-processing arrangements, and data subject rights, adapting to both Australian legal requirements and, where necessary, international data protection standards.
