The Information Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act) provides oversight to the management of personal information held by UQ.

Under the IP Act, the University is required to comply with the Queensland Privacy Principles (QPPs) and to take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

The University is committed to the objectives of the IP Act and has implemented a Privacy Policy that is based on the following principles:

• UQ is committed to the fair collection, handling and management of all personal information in accordance with its privacy obligations.
• UQ recognises every individual’s right to privacy and is committed to the management of personal information in accordance with its privacy obligations.
• In recognition of those commitments, UQ will:
  • implement policies (including this privacy policy) detailing how the University manages personal information
  • publish these policies on the University’s website (refer to the UQ Policy and Procedure Library)
  • have appropriate practices, procedures and systems in place to manage enquiries, breaches and complaints regarding the University’s compliance with its privacy obligations.
