- AFTERNOON BREAK Data Privacy Act JJ Disini

The Data Privacy Act is an all-encompassing law that affects more businesses than generally believed. All customer information, 201 files, marketing materials, computer logs and other forms of personal information are all covered and regulated. And it also covers information processed and collected by all government agencies. This means the use, disclosure and processing of these information fall within the ambit of the new law. Although not widely known, the Data Privacy Act imposes obligations upon most businesses and violations will result in criminal liability. This session will attempt to unravel the complex provisions of the law and provide guidance in ensuring compliance with the Data Privacy Act.
