It is very common for privacy laws, such as Victoria’s Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014, to focus on the protection of personal information. It may also be useful to a broader audience. This paper has been developed to assist the Victorian public sector in understanding some of these challenges. These large collections of data can, in many cases, constitute personal, health and sensitive information, raising many privacy challenges. As the IoT grows, the amount of data it generates will naturally increase alongside it. However, rushing into the IoT without proper consideration of privacy can lead to harmful and unexpected consequences. Smart bins can alert waste trucks when they are nearly full, networked ticketing systems can help optimise public transportation, and automated attendance systems can free up time for teachers in classrooms.Ĭonsumers, governments and businesses everywhere have been increasingly using IoT devices, and it is widely expected that the use of IoT will continue to expand rapidly. For the public sector, the IoT is currently providing many benefits and has the potential to generate even greater public value in the future. IoT devices and the data they collect can provide convenience, efficiency and insights into essentially every aspect of our world. This includes personal wearable devices such as watches and glasses, home appliances such as televisions and toasters, features of buildings such as lifts and lights, supply chain and industrial machinery such as forklifts and sprinklers, and urban infrastructure such as traffic lights and rubbish bins. The Internet of Things ( IoT) is a broad term that generally refers to physical devices connected to the internet that collect, share or use data.
