Privacy and data protection
Privacy and Data Protection
Protect information and meet regulations with our privacy services.
Privacy and data protection helps you handle personal information safely and lawfully. It covers collection, use, disclosure, storage, access and disposal. It also includes clear accountability, and controls that staff can follow.
Privacy failures have direct consequences on impacted individuals and the organisation that experienced the data breach. Strong capability reduces the likelihood of a breach and limits impact when one occurs. It also supports compliance with the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles, and Notifiable Data Breaches requirements.
Stay ahead of risk with our tailored monthly plan
Flame Tree offers fixed packages and tailored monthly plans that adapt to your needs. Our privacy services support delivery of privacy initiatives, with strategy, guidance, project management and coordination.
We prefer long term problem solving, and ongoing partnerships.
Protect information and meet regulations
We help you strengthen privacy governance and embed day to day controls. This includes privacy impact assessment templates and processes, breach response processes, and data classification and labelling guidance. We also support data loss prevention initiatives that reduce disclosure risk and support compliance outcomes.
AI enablement is often part of the work. Guardrails cover approved use cases, handling rules for personal information, prompt and logging expectations, and vendor due diligence.
What We Do
We help organisations protect personal information and meet regulatory obligations by implementing privacy controls that work in day-to-day operations, including privacy impact assessments, breach processes, data classification and labelling, data loss prevention uplift, and safe AI enablement.
Identify and prioritise information protection needs
We map what information you hold, where it sits, and how it moves. We confirm what data is important, then set a practical delivery plan. This creates a clear line of sight from risk to control.
Review obligations and sector requirements
We review your practices against the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles, and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. We also consider state and sector rules, including education and healthcare requirements. The outcome is a set of actions you can implement and track.
Implement privacy governance and operational controls
We help embed privacy into daily work through governance, decision points, and accountable roles. This includes policies, procedures, templates, and controls that support consistent handling. Work is coordinated across teams and vendors.
Enable safe AI and data handling
We support AI enablement by setting guardrails for approved use cases, data classification, labelling, and prompt and logging expectations. We also support vendor due diligence and privacy impact assessments for AI use.
Prepare for and respond to privacy incidents
We help you establish breach processes that match Notifiable Data Breaches requirements. This includes triage steps, roles, notification pathways, and communications support. We also support post-incident review and control uplift to reduce repeat issues.

FAQs
What privacy obligations do we need to meet in Australia?
Most organisations need to meet the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles, and Notifiable Data Breaches requirements. Many also have state and sector rules, including education and health records obligations.
When should we run a privacy impact assessment?
Run a privacy impact assessment when a project changes how personal information is collected, used, shared, stored, or kept. This includes new platforms, data integrations, analytics, customer portals, and AI rollouts.
Can you help with data loss prevention initiatives?
Yes. We help define your highest data breach risks, and what DLP rules should apply. We then support implementation planning, coordination, and tuning so DLP reduces risk without blocking normal work.
How does data protection support AI enablement?
We focus on approved use cases, data handling rules, prompt and logging expectations, and vendor due diligence, so AI can be used without exposing personal information.
Do you provide legal advice, or certify compliance?
No. We support implementation of privacy controls and processes, with strategy, guidance, project management and coordination. There is no privacy certification we issue as part of this service.
