Health, wage and capacity records stay in a firm-controlled tool. The lawyer checks confidentiality under the conduct rules that bind the firm, whether the firm is an APP entity, Australian Privacy Principle 11 on security and destruction, and whether a loss would be notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). The serious-harm threshold page was not opened.
Practice Note SC Gen 23, paragraph 10, and Practice Note SC GEN 25, paragraphs 6.10 to 6.12, apply to affidavit material. The Queensland courts page warns against putting confidential information into a public chatbot. The tool writes no affidavit.
