28 Use and disclosure of identification information by the Department

(1) The Department may, for any purpose described in subsection 27(2), use or disclose identification information: (a) collected by means of an electronic communication to an approved identity verification facility; or (b) held in, or generated using, the NDLFRS.

Note: One effect of this section is that such use or disclosure of identification information by the Department is authorised for the purposes of provisions of Australian Privacy Principle 6, such as paragraph 6.2(b) (use or disclosure of personal information authorised by law).

(2) This section does not, by implication: (a) authorise a person or body to collect identification information disclosed by the Department under subsection (1); or (b) affect whether another provision of a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory providing for disclosure of information authorises (by implication) collection of that information by a person or body to which the information is disclosed under that provision.
