They have already been giving it to the ATO in accordance with their policy supposedly. Stuffs up those pensioners that own an aircraft and wanted to keep it private. A friend once proudly said to me, the form from Centrelink said, do you own other assets like a boat or caravan, so he ticked NO. It didnt ask if he owned an aircraft !
Ain't it strange....
When you email the CEO asking under what authority they are disclosing our information, they say "Oh, we updated the Privacy Policy in August. You must be looking at an old one!". UUhhhh, Nope. Nice try, though.
Now, I linked the most current version at 0730 yesterday morning, that was "Version 2.1" that was approved for use from May 2017. The new version is "Version 2.0" approved for use from 1st August 2018 that includes the following:

RAAus will only use and/or disclose personal information for the purposes for which it was collected (the primary purpose), unless an individual has consented to another use [APP 6]. There are certain limited circumstances in which RAAus may use or disclose information for a different purpose (a secondary purpose) without consent, such as where the secondary purpose is:
directly related to the primary purpose for which the information was collected
required or authorised under an Australian law or has been ordered by a court or tribunal
necessary to lessen or prevent an immediate and serious threat to the life, safety of air navigation, health or safety of any individual, or public health or safety
to facilitate the investigation of an occurrence involving an RAAus registered aircraft and the death or serious injury of one or more persons
a permitted general situation or health situation, as defined by the Privacy Act
an enforcement related activity and the use or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary or
for the purposes of collecting fees associated with airport use and access.
If RAAus uses or discloses personal information for a purpose other than what it was originally collected for, RAAus will keep a written notice of that use or disclosure as required by the APPs.
Of course, this begs the question, for those members (Every existing member prior to 01 August 2018), so far as I can tell, they have not been notified about the change to the privacy policy, have no alternative to opt-out, and are presumably operating under the belief that they have provided information to RAAus that will be kept confidential, IAW the "V2.1" policy. So what happens when you give information to acompany in good faith, and in accordance with their extant privacy policy, but said company then says "We changed our policy, we're now going to sell your data!"?
