Understand privacy and targeted advertising

AANA is actively advocating for Australian advertisers in the privacy space in two reviews now under way, the Privacy Act Review and the Online Privacy Bill. The Online Privacy Bill was scheduled to be introduced to the Senate last week, however the schedule was rearranged and will not be before the upcoming federal election. The next steps will be dependent on the outcome of the election.
