As part of the accreditation process to become fully Gatekeeper accredited, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) was required to provide a suite of supporting policy documents. These documents include a privacy policy which is detailed in nine policy documents PC01-PC09.
This document sets out the Tax Office’s PKI policy about the availability of procedures to allow people to access and correct the personal information they have provided to the Tax Office in relation to issuing keys and certificates. The Information Privacy Principles (IPP) relevant to this policy are IPP6 and IPP7. IPP6 and IPP7 require the Tax Office to have arrangements in place to enable certificate holders to access, alter or amend the personal information in their records.
According to the Privacy Act 1988, personal information means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about a natural person whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.
