Only authorised employees have access  to your personal information and only for approved purposes. Your personal information can only be  amended and deleted by authorised means. Records that we hold, containing your personal information 

may be in hardcopy documents or electronic data.

  1. Data Breaches 

Security of your personal information is very important to us. Capseed have implemented internal  procedures to manage data breaches if they occur. 

A data breach occurs when personal information that an organisation holds is subject to unauthorised  access or disclosure, or is lost. A data breach may be caused by malicious action (by an external or  insider party), human error, or a failure in information handling or security systems. Capseed will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner about any eligible data  breaches as required by law. An ‘eligible data breach’ is a breach that is likely to result in serious harm to  any of the individuals to whom the information relates, and we have not been able to prevent this risk of  serious harm with remedial action. 

If you believe that we have experienced a data breach, please contact us using details in the section  “Contacting Us”
