Common confusion points
Confusing 'Collection Purpose' with 'Use': Collection is gathering the info; Use is what they *do* with it later.
Thinking you need to use this form for every single piece of data: No, it covers broad categories.
Assuming signing means approval: Signing confirms the notice applies; reading it confirms your understanding of the terms.
Not knowing if Home Affairs already has a privacy notice: They almost certainly do. This form customizes or overrides that standard one.
