Answer 1:
1.1 The sensitive information includes the discussion about the racial and the ethical origin, with
the political issues, religious beliefs and the other preferences of the sexual standards. This works
over the membership of groups or the criminal records where the law puts the special restrictions
based on the information collection.
1.2 a. Collection: The Government organisation works over the collection of the personal
information with fulfilment of the function.
b. Use and Disclosure: This works over the use and the disclosure of the primary standards with
the collection till the secondary purpose set till the consent is requested upon.
c. Data Quality: The organisation works over the personal information accuracy with the
completeness and the up to-date information (Gentry et al., 2005).
d. Data Security: The personal information works over the protection from the misuse, loss and
the unauthorised access.
e. Openness: The organisation work over the policies with the management of the personal
information.
f. Access and Correction: This works over dealing with the forms where the information is
handled under the Victorian Freedom of Information Act.
g. Unique Identifiers: This is important for the facilitation of matching the data. The use of the
unique identifiers includes along of the certain conditions.

h. Anonymity: The lawful and the options are set with transactions without identification of
oneself (Ostrovsky et al., 2007).
i. Trans border data: This work over accessing the personal information to travel out of Victor
with privacy protection.
j. Sensitive Information: This includes the racial and the ethical original with the political views,
religious beliefs and the other membership of groups. The law includes the special restrictions
with easy collection of information (Oiac.gov.au, 2017).
1.3 The breach of Information Privacy Principles works over the attempt to resolve the matter
and then contacting the Privacy Officer or writing over the explanation of the situations and how
it needs to be resolved. If one is not satisfied, there is a need to complain to the Commissioner
for Privacy and the Data Protection. The Commissioner will make the efforts to conciliate with
the complaints where the conciliation is not reasonable but failing, complaining to work on the
Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
Answer 2:
2.1 The access of information which is not required for the job along with the breach of the
confidential information which includes the information relating to the patients, clients and the
residents. The data security is breached according to Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) is an
Australian law. The sharing, copying and working over the change of information without any
proper authorisation to the medical records is also unethical as this can lead to the breach of
privacy. With this, the focus is on the handling of the wrongdoings for which the action for the
damages are brought into considered with the personal information stolen with the faulty
business procedures (Vossen, 1997).

2.2 The breach is mainly of the collection of the information that does not concern you and the
data breach without permission. It is important to focus on the fact that the individual should not
collect the personal information with the consequences for the individual if the part of the
information is not provided according to Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) is an Australian law.
With this, there is a need to list the different serious threats to the life or health of individual or
the other individuals. The Biometric is effective for the protection of information with unique
identifiers.
2.3 The anonymity where the person tends to send the email to the individual with entering the
transactions that are not identified. With this, there are issues of impact on the sensitive
information with inability to communicate to the collection according to Privacy Act
1988 (Privacy Act) is an Australian law. Here, there is a need to focus on establishing, exercising
and defending over the legal or the equitable claims. The collection for the research includes the
purpose of providing the proper check over the access and the correction where the email is sent
to the third person from any other email id.
2.4 The issue is also related to the breach of the data security. It is important to secure the area,
files and the other portable equipment. It works on the encryption, extra physical security and the
portable devices which works with the encryption that have the strict physical security. There is a
need to minimise the amount of sensitive data with stored reduced risks which is mainly the case
of theft. One can always handle the transmits of the restricted data security which includes the
transmissions from the client and server.
2.5 The information privacy policy includes the collection of information, data security and the
access to the anonymous servers. There is a possibility that there is an easy identification of the

public sector organisations to collect the information about the individuals and then the
information could be stolen after logging into the system. the personal information is only
collected in Australia under s 5B(3)(c). It includes the details of the information related to the
individual, entities and the other available publications. Here, there is a complete security breach
as well from the unauthorised access, modification and the disclosure that includes the
destruction at the different steps with the de-identification of the personal information when
there is no longer purpose needed as required. It also includes the individual entering the system
and stealing the data for not identifying and setting the form for easy handling of the sensitive
information.
2.6 This does not breach the privacy policy as the access is given by the owner but there is an
issue of lack of the sensitive information which needs to be handled. (Korfhage, 2008). It is
important to focus on the consents to the collection where the person has been authorised to work
over the communication with proper establishment, exercising or defending a legal claim. It also
includes the breach of openness where the policies are related to the management of the personal
information which holds the public sector organisation with holding the kind of personal
information. It also includes the collection, holding, and then making use of the information as
well.
