In this age of information, your privacy is an important consideration for anyone who uses the Internet and all Australian Businesses have legal obligations under the Privacy Act to protect your personal information. Australian Privacy Principles require, amongst other things, that an “…entity must take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to destroy the [confidential] information…” and therefore businesses must ensure that your confidential or sensitive information is secured and destroyed in a very secure manner.
By providing a Secure Paper and Media Destruction Service in line with ASIO-T4 Protective Security, Capital City Waste Servicesassists your business to comply with the law and at the same time can recover any recyclable material.
Your office will be supplied with securely tethered and lockable bins to contain your redundant but confidential information for secure destruction. Important and confidential documents can be placed in these bins and the information cannot be retrieved once deposited
What Can Be Securely Destroyed?
Capital City Waste Services can collect and confidentially destroy all of the following personal and sensitive information:
- Personnel records and customer information
- Medical practitioner and hospital files
- Company and other accounting data and billing information
- Contracts and commercially sensitive product information
- CDs and DVDs
- Videotapes, film and microfiche
What Happens to our Sensitive Material?
Your sensitive material is closely monitored from the point of collection to its final destruction to ensure its security. When your material arrives at our Collection Centre, our Document Destruction Specialists and CCTV closely monitor the unlocking and screening of the contents of your bins.
All paper material is finely shredded to ensure that no information is retrievable and the shredded paper is sent to be recycled into new paper products. Electronic media is granulized, separated and sent for recycling.
A Document Destruction Certificate is supplied to the customer on completion of the process.
