Product description
Roth’s Companion to the Privacy Act 2020 provides an all-in-one resource explaining the key concepts, processes, and obligations in the Privacy Act 2020. As the Act comes into force on 1 December 2020, practitioners and others who work with privacy law will need to come to grips with the new legislation.

This text is drawn from the authoritative publication Privacy Law and Practice.
