The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner says it is investigating whether any personal information of Australians was disclosed to Cambridge Analytica without authorisation.

The data analytics company, which provided voter-profiling services to US President Donald Trump’s election campaign, has come under scrutiny after allegations that it gained access to some the data of some 50 million Facebook users without proper authorisation.

“I am aware of the reports that users’ Facebook profile information was acquired and used without authorisation,” a statement issued by Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim said.
“My Office is making inquiries with Facebook to ascertain whether any personal information of Australians was involved.”
