Four Pillars → APP 1.7 Homework Checklist

Australia’s APP 1.7–1.9 automated decision-making transparency obligations will begin on 10 December 2026, requiring covered organizations to disclose in their privacy policies the types of personal information used by computer programs and the kinds of decisions those programs make or substantially assist. The checklist recommends that product, security, privacy, and platform teams build evidence-backed inventories of automated and computer-assisted decision systems, including APIs, models, workflows, rules engines, and data-access points, rather than focusing only on AI models. It organizes implementation around four areas: identifying enforcement points where decisions occur, mapping personal-information categories to resources, actions, tenants, and decision types, preventing disclosure statements from becoming outdated as systems and permissions change, and maintaining logs and exports that document decision context, data use, versions, and outcomes. The material emphasizes that this is an engineering-oriented framework rather than legal advice, arguing that reliable transparency depends on being able to demonstrate where decisions are enforced, what information may influence them, how changes propagate, and what audit records establish.
