The OAIC announced on Thursday afternoon that privacy commissioner Carly Kind would close the investigation after being satisfied that I-MED’s data had been “de-identified sufficiently”. She found this despite a “small number of instances” where the company had accidentally provided non-anonymised information.

I'm getting really sick of corporations being held to a different standard to individuals. If I were to accidentally give out non-anonymised client data, I would be facing disciplinary action at least. Until corporations start getting held to account for all of these privacy breaches, they're just going to keep on maximising their own profits at the expense of our data.
