<b>Australia's data retention obligations become law</b><br>
<br>
By Attorney-General's Department<br>
<br>
Important message from the Attorney-General’s Department:<br>
<br>
From 13 October 2015, telecommunications service providers that
use communications infrastructure in Australia to provide any of
their services may be required to retain and secure specific
telecommunications data for two years. The obligations apply to
licensed carriers, carriage service providers and internet
service providers. However, some services are specifically
excluded—for example, broadcasting services. The data retention
obligations apply irrespective of the size of your company
and/or customer base.<br>
<br>
This will ensure that Australia’s law enforcement and security
agencies continue to have lawful access to data, subject to
strict controls.<br>
<br>
The legislation specifies the types of data that must be
retained, depending on the nature of the service being offered.<br>
<br>
Broadly, the data set includes information relating to the:<br>
<br>
> source and destination of a communication<br>
> date, time and duration of a communication<br>
> communication type<br>
> location of communications equipment.<br>
<br>
This data must be kept for two years. The data set also includes
subscriber and service-level account information, which must be
retained for two years from its creation. Certain types of
subscriber information must be retained for the life of the
account and for a further two years after the account is closed.<br>
<br>
Service providers are not required to retain data about services
offered by other providers. For example, a wholesale-only
service provider is only required to retain items in the data
set that are relevant to provision of its wholesale service.<br>
<br>
<b>Service providers that cannot fully comply with these
obligations by 13 October 2015 should apply to the
Communications Access Coordinator (a statutory officer within
the Attorney-General’s Department) for:</b><br>
<br>
an extension of up to 18 months by lodging an Implementation
Plan that details how they will achieve compliance in the
extended period<br>
an exemption from and/or variation of the data retention
obligations in relation to a specific service.<br>
<br>
The Australian Government has announced a package of $131.3
million over three years to help the telecommunications industry
with the upfront capital costs of data retention. More
information will be available at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ag.gov.au/dataretention">www.ag.gov.au/dataretention</a>
soon. For detailed guidelines, FAQs and application templates,
as well as case-by-case support, email <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:cac@ag.gov.au">cac@ag.gov.au</a>
or call the Office of the Communications Access Co-ordinator in
the Attorney-General’s Department on 02 6141 2884.<br>
