Vast amounts of data can be collected and stored and information from various sources aggregated together to provide a picture of a person, their behaviour and their preferences. Where descriptive and/or predictive data is associated with a persistent identifier that relates to a unique individual, the individual is identified and the information is “personal information” and regulated by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
