New privacy legislation is now in force and the Australian Privacy Commissioner claims he stands ready to enforce the new laws despite having no new budget to handle investigations.
Virgin Mobile Australia has denied claims it will follow in the footsteps of its UK counterpart, which has admitted to storing information that records its customers' movements around the UK since November 1999.
As the December 21 deadline for businesses to comply with Australia's new privacy legislation looms, the questions many are asking are how many companies currently comply and how many will clean up their act in time.
The Privacy Amendment Act was put forward at the end of last year to ensure that the personal information kept by the private sector was both secure and accessible to individuals. But with a deadline of December this year, are companies ready or aware of what's needed to comply?
