Dear Mr Duncan

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has responsibility
for privacy functions under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). The Privacy Act
1988 applies to Australian government agencies, private sector
organisations with turnovers of more than $3 million, health service
providers and not-for profit organisations.

It is not clear what documents you are seeking to access. Can you please
respond to the following questions so I can identify the documents you
want?

1.       You have asked for ‘the latest documents that include information
about complaints received by’ the OAIC. Are you seeking to access
individual complaints about entities covered by the Privacy Act 1988 who
have collected personal information via a WIFI logon process, or who have
shared/disclosed information obtained via a WIFI logon process, or some
other kind of document?

2.       You have asked for the ‘latest’ documents. What do you mean by
‘latest’? Do you want to specify a date range?

Dear Office of the Australian Information Commissioner,

Could you please send through the latest documents that include
information about complaints received by your office relating to third
parties being provided with personal data captured as part of login

Dear Mr Duncan

Freedom of Information request

I refer to your request for access to documents, made under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (Cth) (the FOI Act) and received by the Office of the
Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) on 13 April 2018.

On 16 April 2018, you provided an email clarifying the scope of your
request.

Scope of your request

I have interpreted the scope of your request to be for access to:

Privacy complaints received from members of the public about personal
information requested as part of the logon process for accessing free wifi
in a public place and how that information was captured and potentially
used.

If this is not correct, please contact me immediately.

Timeframes for dealing with your request

Section 15 of the FOI Act requires this office to process your request no
later than 30 days after the day we receive it.

We received your request on 13 April 2018 and therefore must process it by
Monday 14 May 2018.

Disclosure Log

Documents released under the FOI Act may be published online on our
disclosure log, unless they contain personal or business information that
would be unreasonable to publish.
