Administrative matters - Annual reporting by data holders and accredited requestors

112: Annual reporting by data holders

You could also call this:

“Every year, data holders must tell the boss about complaints they got”

If this bill becomes law, it will require data holders to send a yearly report to the chief executive. You’ll need to send this report by 31 October each year. The report will cover the 12 months ending on 30 June.

In your report, you’ll need to include a summary of any complaints people made about your regulated data services. You might also need to include other information if the regulations say so.

The bill also says that you’ll need to follow any rules in the regulations about how to provide the report.

Remember, this is just a proposed law right now, so it’s not something you need to do yet. It’s just explaining what might happen in the future if this bill becomes a real law.
