Privacy Act
NO.
The nine exemptions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) outline specific categories of information that are exempt from mandatory disclosure. These exemptions include national security, personal privacy, law enforcement, and confidential commercial information, among others. Each exemption serves to protect sensitive information that, if disclosed, could harm national security, individual privacy, or the integrity of law enforcement operations. Overall, they balance the public's right to know with the need to protect certain information from release.
The US Privacy Act was enacted in 1974, and is actually usually called the Privacy Act of 1974.

In Australia the Privacy Act was designed to protect personal information. Such information is included in investigations and credit reporting. The Privacy Act was signed in 1988, so does not cover internet privacy.
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemptions are designed to protect sensitive information that, if disclosed, could jeopardize national security, public safety, or the privacy of individuals and organizations. Specifically, exemptions related to critical infrastructure aim to prevent the release of information that could be exploited by malicious actors, thereby safeguarding the physical and cyber assets of public and private entities. By restricting access to certain details about critical infrastructure, these exemptions help ensure that owners remain secure against threats, while balancing transparency with the need for security.
