An increasing number of laws actually
REQUIRE organizations
to SHRED or face STEEP
FINES.
At the FEDERAL LEVEL,
FACTA (credit report info), HIPAA (healthcare) and Gramm-Leach-Bliley
(financial) REQUIRE specific
physical safeguards, such as SHREDDING,
to meet compliance. STIFF PENALTIES could
result (10 year imprisonment and/or $125,000 fine for each
client)!

Customers and consumers are concerned
about IDENTITY THEFT and PRIVACY. Companies concerned with
protecting TRADE INFORMATION. You are entrusted with information
that they consider to be extremely confidential. |
|
Dumpster Diving has become INVESTIGATIVE
JOURNALISM 101 with all the PRIVACY COMPLIANCE LAWS. It is
the first place reporters look when trying to grab a quick
headline.
|
|
Employees (past & present) have a
LEGAL RIGHT to have their personal information protected by
SHREDDING before it is discarded.
|
|
In this day and age, it is VERY IMPORTANT
that your organization exhibits the highest ETHICAL STANDARDS.
SHRED before you discard all company information, whether in
the form of an individual’s personal information or company
trade information, shows a callous disregard for customer and
shareholder welfare. It exposes customers to the threat of
IDENTITY THEFT and other FRAUD. |
|
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that
you FORFEIT the rights of OWNERSHIP to discarded information.
SHRED IT ALL!
If you don’t protect it like trade information, the courts
won’t either.
SHRED IT ALL!
