Home Paper Shredders and the FTC Disposal Rule
Individuals Must Properly Dispose of Consumer Information
The Federal Trade Commission on June 1, 2005 created a new rule
known as the Disposal rule which outlines how to properly
dispose of consumer information. The Disposal Rule requires that
a reasonable method of disposal must be established and followed
to safeguard against the release of consumer information. This
includes not only businesses, but individuals. Thus along with
medical practices, banks and government facilities, individuals
who have obtained private information from local contractors,
renters, or even nannies, must adhere to these guidelines.
Proper Disposal Consumer information should be burned, or
shredded before disposal. Even inexpensive home paper shredders
now have the ability to shred documents into confetti. All
electronic files such as cd and dvd files should be shredded
before disposal, and computer hard drives
should be erased. A PC
file shredder is recommended, since even hard drives that are
erased and reformatted, can be mined for passwords and private
information with special software. And any private disposal
company to which you outsource your shredding, must be reviewed
with due diligence.
The new Disposal Rule is not only an FTC requirement. It is just
good business practice. The loss of private information due to
identity theft is prevalent and preventable. Furthermore the
protection of this consumer data is now not only a requirement,
it can prevent a future lawsuit. If you run a small home
business, invest in a home paper shredder. It is a wise
investment in the future of your business.
