The association's goal is to promote the protection of confidential data through the proper use of document shredding and the shredding of other types of data media. The statistics on the number of people affected by IDENTITY THEFT are astounding and growing every day. The cost of corporate and credit card fraud is paid by each and every citizen of this country. If in doubt, paper shredding is a better solution than simply throwing the paper away.
By properly shredding all private and confidential information, you can diminish the chances that identity theft and fraud will affect yourself and your customers, employees and stockholders.
Because of the proliferation of fraud and identity theft, the government has enacted a series of laws designed to enforce the protection of private information. Paper shredding is now a part of good corporate citizenship. Now, rules such as the following mandate document shredding. In many cases, state governments have even more encompassing laws. Remember to contact a shredding company to shred paper containing confidential - personal information.
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act )
- GLB (Gramm Leach Bliley Act relates to the banking industry)
- FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 relates to the protection of consumer credit information)
These laws define the information that needs protection (shredding) and also have penalties for violators of the regulations.
