Privacy Training for Financial Services – Australia

Course Description

This training is targeted to the various relevant areas of your organisation

Failure to properly collect, handle and protect people’s personal information can put businesses at considerable financial and reputational risk. The Australian Privacy Principles impose strict requirements on businesses, and all staff need to be adequately trained to meet these requirements.


This suite of seven courses covers all the areas of Australian privacy law that are likely to be encountered in a financial services business. Staff in different areas will focus on different aspects of privacy and this training is designed to allow L&D teams to target learning to the appropriate staff teams. The lessons provide scenarios on each topic. These practical examples illustrate the sorts of customer interaction that staff can expect on a daily basis.

Data breaches involving personal information may be prevented through effective training and enhanced systems, analysis of the first 12 months of mandatory notifications reveals.

Our report shows a clear trend towards the human factor in data breaches — so training and supporting your people and improving processes and technology are critical to keeping customers’ personal information safe.

Privacy – New Zealand

Course Description

This course provides training on dealing with personal information under the latest New Zealand Privacy law

Privacy is one of the biggest issues a business faces; it affects them when dealing with customers, suppliers and staff. Businesses need to ensure their staff understand what is required of them when dealing with individuals’ personal information. To ensure there are no flaws in your system, it is imperative that each and every employee understands what they can and cannot do with personal information.

In this course you and your Staff will learn all about the Information Privacy Principles. Learn what personal information is and how and when to handle, collect, retain and disclose it. Find out how to prevent a privacy or data breach from occurring and how to manage the incident if an event occurs.

Even if your business has no physical presence in New Zealand, the local privacy laws may still apply. Find out the process and regulations for managing crossborder data flows.

Scenario: Meredith is a sales representative at BargaiNZ, a national department store chain.

A customer, Roberta, has bought a stereo. Meredith offers to register Roberta’s details for the stereo warranty with the store, in case Roberta loses her receipt. Roberta seems reluctant.

Roberta: “I just think the fewer people who have my information, the better. If I give my details to an entity and they misuse it, or it gets stolen, there’s nothing I can do about it personally. Then my info is just out there and there’s nothing I can do.” 

If Roberta did give BargaiNZ her details and BargaiNZ breached privacy law with them, what could Roberta do?

Who should do this training?

The training is suitable for staff at any level of an organisation that collects, holds or uses personal information and does business in New Zealand.

It is designed to cater for a diverse audience and all levels of staff, addressing the legal content in plain language.

Personal Data Protection compliance training course- Singapore

An IBF Accredited Course

Handling personal data and personal data protection in Singapore or of people in Singapore and the importance of a privacy policy

Dealing with personal information

Privacy relates to any personal data  – whether true or not − that can identify us. We share personal data every day: in emails, text messages, photos, videos, credit cards and online banking. Modern technology has made it easy to send and store personal data. Businesses need to ensure their staff understand what is required of them when dealing with individuals’ personal information.

What is protection of Personal Data?

Privacy laws aim to protect our personal data. They are intended to ensure that organisations comply with set rules for handling this data. Any personal data that is accessed, kept or used by organisations must comply with these rules (unless an exemption applies).

What is the role of PDPA?

The Personal Data Protection Act, Singapore(PDPA) is a law that sets out the rules for handling personal data. It establishes open and fair processes for how organisations collect, use and disclose personal data, including data about their customers. Under the PDPA, any personal data stored by an organisation must be kept accurate, up-to-date and secure. The PDPA also gives individuals the right to access any personal data held about them and to ask for it to be corrected if it is wrong.

The PDPA applies to all individuals, companies, associations or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated whether located in or outside Singapore.

Who is this training for?

This course is designed to cater for a diverse audience and different levels of staff in plain English. If your organisation has any specific data privacy requirements, this course can be customised to your individual needs.
