Today, more than ever, you need to protect and secure your business and your privacy. Why is it essential to shred important, confidential papers and records? With identity theft on the rise, you need to protect yourself, your company, and your customers’ privacy against confidential information getting into the wrong hands, whether those hands belong to criminals, competitors or the media. FACTA - The Federal Trade Commission has issued their FACTA DISPOSAL RULE. They have singled out: Lenders-insurers-employers-landlords-government agencies-mortgage brokers-and automobile dealers. The FACTA Disposal Rule applies to every individual and business subject to their jurisdiction, which includes every person and business in the United States. It requires the destruction of all consumer information before it is discarded. Severe penalties await violators. Contracting City Confidential Shredding to shred all discarded consumer information is the best way to comply with FACTA. Your trash is public domain. Destroy your confidential documents. Office shredders must be replaced frequently. They are messy, they cannot remove staples, and they cannot securely shred film and computer disks. These problems all take time away from office work. The most efficient way to protect your privacy is to hire a shredding contractor. Give yourself the assurance that your private information is being destroyed properly. What should you be shredding instead of “dumping in the trash?” INVOICES PAYROLL CHECKS/RECORDS CLASSIFIED INFO INSURANCE FORMS CLIENT RECORDS MEDICAL RECORDS PERSONNEL DOCUMENTS PERSONAL PAPERS ACCOUNTS PAYABLE/RECEIVABLE LEGAL DOCUMENTS FINANCIAL RECORDS BANK DOCUMENTS TAX RECORDS CREDIT CARD RECEIPTS OLD BUSINESS RECORDS INVENTORY LISTS And much more... |
