In addition any TFN that is extracted by the ATO approved officer must be used or kept in a manner that complies with the Privacy ACT, failure to do so puts the institution and individuals at risk of breech of the Privacy Act and prosecution under the failure to comply may occur.

This ACT sets out standards, right and obligations for the handling, holding, use and accessing and correction of personal information (including sensitive information).
