Privacy (Global)

Description

Dealing with personal information

Privacy breaches make headlines all the time. But while everyone thinks they know what privacy is, understanding how best-practices apply to our work, clients and customers is another matter.

Salt Compliance Privacy training breaks down the privacy requirements into language that learners can understand, supported by a rich visual design.

The introductory module summarises the key concepts surrounding how we handle personal information at work. Subsequent modules explore information management and disclosure in more detail.

Scenarios and case studies appear throughout the modules, helping to place the training into vivid practical context.

The course contains a fresh look and feel that is intended to attract learners’ active engagement throughout the training, without overwhelming or distracting them from the concepts.

We often say that good privacy is good business.

– Timothy Pilgrim, Australian Privacy Commissioner
