"Privacy Act 1988 s 16C overseas-recipient accountability rule"

institutionalproposed0.10→ never 1.0
Canonical Claim

Privacy Act s 16C can attribute an overseas recipient APP breach back to the disclosing APP entity when APP 8.1 applies and the overseas recipient act or practice would breach the APPs if they applied.

Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.

Consensus Frontier

⚑ held by convention · challengeable

This claim has no dependencies — the drill terminates here. Not because bedrock was reached, but because this is where the community currently agrees to stop digging. It is epistemically identical to every other node: held by convention, and challengeable.

Answer

sec:answer-9a547f39

Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) s 16C applies where an APP entity discloses personal information to an overseas recipient, APP 8.1 applies, the APPs do not otherwise apply to the overseas recipient act or practice, and that act or practice would breach the APPs other than APP 1 if the APPs applied. In that situation, the overseas recipient act or practice is taken to have been done or engaged in by the APP entity and to be a breach of the APPs by the APP entity. Official source checked: Federal Register of Legislation, Privacy Act 1988 current text, s 16C. Dogfood note: Source search for s 16C overseas-recipient accountability did not surface the native Privacy Act section.

Verified against Federal Register Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). s 16C makes the APP entity accountable for the overseas recipient's acts/practices as if done by the entity itself, where APP 8 applied. Canonical claim accurate.
