- What it is for
- This is a privacy notice, not a form to complete. It explains, under the Australian Privacy Principles of the Privacy Act 1988, why the Department of Home Affairs collects personal information during a visa pre-application ballot registration and how that information is handled, disclosed, accessed and corrected.
- Who completes it
- Other party — it is issued by the Department of Home Affairs and is read (rather than lodged) by a person registering in a visa pre-application ballot.
- Information it collects (in general terms)
- It describes, in general terms, the categories of personal information gathered at ballot registration, including identity and biographical details, passport-related information, ethnicity, and contact details, and notes that sensitive information and national identity document details may also be involved.
- When it is used
- It applies when a person registers for a visa pre-application ballot through ImmiAccount, setting out the collection, use, disclosure (including to government agencies and, with consent, research organisations) and correction of their personal information.
