Like plumbing did for water, Australia's 'consumer data right' could make your personal data safer and easier to share

By that it meant that the world’s biggest and most profitable companies no longer worked with oil, as they had throughout the 20th century, but with data.

Key Points: 
  • By that it meant that the world’s biggest and most profitable companies no longer worked with oil, as they had throughout the 20th century, but with data.
  • By 2022, three of the world’s five most profitable companies specialised in data – Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet.
  • But before that, our cities were shaped by plumbing, making it more accurate to say that data is the new water.

Like water, data flows through pipes

    • We see Australia’s little-known new Consumer Data Right in the same way, as a foundation on which the future will be built.
    • A landmark Productivity Commission report in 2017 made Australia a global leader in planning to regulate data.
    • The resulting 2019 Consumer Data Right mimics plumbing in the way it facilitates flows and removes effluent.

What does the Consumer Data Right do?

    • Concern for the quality and integrity of the transported data is built into the system’s architecture: data holders and accredited data recipients have to ensure the data they transfer is “accurate, up to date and complete”.
    • Data holders have to ask consumers to authorise disclosures of their data and keep records and explanations of such authorisations.

Making data breaches less likely

    • Importantly, when an accredited data recipient no longer needs consumer data (and is not required to retain it for another reason) the recipient has to either destroy or de-identify it.
    • Had Optus been accredited under the consumer data right before exposing the data of as many as 10 million current and former customers last year, in what has been labelled “the worst data breach in Australia’s history”, it would most likely have been found to be in breach of its obligations by holding on to data it no longer needed.
    • Running parallel to the consumer data right for firms that haven’t applied for accreditation are the old practices.

Old pipes are unsafe

    • Read more:
      Why the class action against Optus could be Australia's biggest

      The sooner these old practices are replaced with practices governed by the consumer data right, the stronger Australia’s data economy will become.

    • What we find strange about the changes taking part in Australia is that overseas they are regarded as pioneering.
    • It is time for Australian businesses to embrace what’s coming and start developing uses for the consumer data right that will appeal to customers.
