[3]        Recommendation 3 – IIS recommends that secured parties proposing to register a security interest in consumer property where the registration will include an individual grantor’s name and DOB be obliged to first advise the individuals concerned of the disclosure of personal information to the PPSR. To the extent that this obligation would not be satisfied by a secured party’s existing obligation under the Privacy Act, IIS recommends that the PPS Bill should provide that failure to provide prior notice of a registration that relates to consumer property and would include name and DOB is an interference with privacy under the Privacy Act.
