INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

This disclaimer should be included in all outgoing emails to which the business wishes it to apply. This is most commonly achieved by inserting the disclaimer into the standard email footer applied automatically to outgoing correspondence.

Where the business collects, holds, uses or discloses personal information, it must consider its obligations under applicable privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. In addition, Australian businesses (irrespective of size) may be required to comply with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where they have an establishment in the EU, offer goods or services to individuals in the EU, or monitor the behaviour of individuals in the EU.

A disclaimer of this kind should not be relied upon as providing complete protection. It forms one element only of a business's broader risk-management strategy and should be combined with appropriate internal policies, information-security measures and other business practices.

If in doubt, seek legal advice.
