Automated Decisions Kit (The Lab Vault)

A kit for privacy and risk staff who must say, in the privacy policy, how the organisation uses computer programs in decisions that could significantly affect people. From 10 December 2026, APPs 1.7 to 1.9 of the Privacy Act 1988 ask for it.
What you get
  • A Word model paragraph for your privacy policy, with the brackets to fill in and the filling-in notes
  • An Excel working file: a starting list from the rows of your Third-Party Register marked Yes for artificial intelligence or automated decision-making, eight questions for each third party, and a response log for each one
  • A decision check that applies the three conditions to each kind of decision, and a paragraph builder that writes the wording from your answers
  • Formulas only, no macros. The judgement on each decision stays yours

Your files sit in your Academy account for 6 months from the day you buy. Download them in that time and the files stay with you. Each template is the version current on the day you buy it. This is a method and a template, not legal advice. Whether APPs 1.7 to 1.9 apply to you, and what your privacy policy must say, depends on your organisation. Get your own legal advice before you rely on it. Third Party Labs is a risk practice, not a law firm. Use our content to brief your legal team, not to replace them.
