Title: The New Statutory Privacy Tort – What It Means for Dealers
Date: Thursday 26 June 2025
Time: 1:00pm-2:00pm AEST
Presented by: Sotheary Bryant and Bill Fragos from Moray & Agnew
The new statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy, will be effective from 10 June 2025.
Under this new law, a customer may sue a dealership and seek damages or an injunction if there has been a misuse of their information or an intrusion on their privacy.
All dealerships collect, hold, disclose and use personal information about customers. Many dealers use data driven solutions to develop insights about customers, to market to them and to engage with them. Dealers also share customer information with their OEMs and give access to their databases to third party service providers.
The volume of customer data in dealerships means dealers must have strong privacy and data protection governance to limit risks of unintended disclosure. We will share some practical and simple things dealers can do to protect their dealerships.
Webinars are open to all dealers and their staff, so secure your spot today!
