Personal information includes a broad range of information, or an opinion, that could identify an individual. What is personal information will vary, depending on whether a person can be identified or is reasonably identifiable in the circumstances.

For example, personal information may include:

an individual’s name, signature, address, phone number or date of birth

sensitive information

credit information

employee record information

photographs

internet protocol (IP) addresses

voice print and facial recognition biometrics (because they collect characteristics that make an individual’s voice or face unique)

location information from a mobile device (because it can reveal user activity patterns and habits)

The Privacy Act 1988 doesn’t cover the personal information of someone who has died.
