Dear Launceston City Council,



As promised here is the public request in the righttoknow website:

https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.righttoknow.org.au%2Frequest%2Fcouncil_policy_on_using_privacy&data=05%7C02%7CLucas.Lim%40launceston.tas.gov.au%7Cfc1160c2a0c94b3fdea008dc9efaefab%7C7efea6fc38b1413a9783340391fac921%7C0%7C0%7C638560047792918052%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5wlnrlhMxgNbvUkEqMnXJlXXCPn18hlY4FlApmvHIYM%3D&reserved=0



The response the council has been writing to members of public I refer includes the relevant below:



------/ clip /-------



We continue to wait for additional detail from Strike It Out regarding their sleep pods. Specifically we have asked for the following:



Explore the Privacy Act to ensure intake form does not convene anyone's rights, particularly collected data storage - In Strike It Out's application form they request extensive personal information like education level, medical history, medications, financials etc. We have flagged this information is highly sensitive and needs to be reviewed in the context of applicable legislation. The storage of this data also carries obligations that may apply to them.

I've shortened the response here to highlight the relevant bit to this FOIA request on which I'm seeking the details how the Launceston City Council is using it's powers relating to Privacy Acts.



Yours faithfully,



MissAnonymous
