Can you keep a secret?

Privacy protection is one the most controversial and most talked about business practices by the media and it has become increasingly important for all Australians. The privacy laws affect all of us at work and in the home.

Protecting your client's and staff's business and personal information is not just a law - it is excellent business practice. Just imagine your client's sensitive information becoming public knowledge through careless binning of files or meeting notes in a general waste bin.

Not only do you breach the law but your customer relations and your company's reputation is tarnished forever.

Your obligation under the PRIVACY ACT 1988 is that you retain no personal or business information longer than you need it (unless required by law). You should shred, pulp or destroy paper and place all material in a lockable security container and securely erase any electronic records or files from your computer system to ensure it cannot be retrieved. At Shred-X we have made a science of document destruction, we lead the industry with secure systems and customised programs for businesses throughout Australia.

1. Be securely tracked when stored and not misplaced
2. Be protected from loss or unlawful destruction
3. Not be used without consent of the individual (by yourself of anyone else)
4. Be destroyed when no longer required
