Why
Shred?
According to
NAID,
everyone – business owners to homeowners – has reason
to shred:
- Identity theft and information-based fraud is the fastest
growing crime in the U.S.
- The U.S. Supreme Court
ruled that you give up ownership of information when it
is casually discarded — meaning tossed in the trash
bin.
- Investigative reporters
can legally use dumpsters for easy-to-find headlines.
Some Shred
Right customers must shred certain types of information to
comply with the law, including the HIPPA, Gramm/Leach/Billey
and the Economic Espionage Act.
Others shred materials to
protect their customers, or employees, privacy
and to prevent identity theft.
Many companies also shred
materials to safeguard proprietary trade information or valuable
client data.
