TCS's security measures

TCS takes all reasonable steps to protect the security of information we hold about you. Only authorised people have access to your personal information.

The Internet is not a completely secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, TCS cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to us or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorised access to or use of that information. Ultimately, you must ensure that your passwords or PINS are not disclosed to or accessible by someone else.

Access to your information

Except as set out in this section, you can access all personal information that we are holding about you by writing to our Privacy Officer at PO Box 382 Mt Hawthorn 6016, Western Australia, and we will provide you with a copy of your file. We may charge a reasonable amount for providing access. If you wish to change personal information that is out of date or inaccurate at any time please write to our Privacy Officer at PO Box 382 Mt Hawthorn 6016, Western Australia. If you wish to have your personal information deleted please let us know and we will generally delete that information.

Provision, variation or deletion of information may be restricted if we need that information for one or more of the purposes set out in the bullet points in the "Disclosure of personal information" section of this Privacy Statement. We may also decline a request if we consider it to be frivolous, if disclosure would unreasonably impact another's privacy, if the information is relevant to legal proceedings between us and would not be available by way of discovery or if providing access would reveal our intentions in any negotiations in a way which prejudices those negotiations. We will give you reasons if we decline to grant access or allow correction of information.

After notice from you, we will take reasonable steps to correct any of your information which is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
