Identity theft is still on the rise here in Puerto Rico, therefore it’s critical that you are aware of important legislation in regards to the protection of your privacy and why you should shred critical documents. Remember that as a business owner, it is your obligation to maintain security over information surrounding customers and employees, and simply imperative to structure a document and paper shredding policy.
Legislation here in Puerto Rico and the rest of the U.S, make it illegal to dispose of private and confidential information without thoroughly shredding the information first. Employment records, financial documents and medical records are just a few of the personal and confidential documents you should shred securely. By shredding this material in a responsible manner, you’ll remain in compliance with the law and prevent the risk of legal penalties and unnecessary exposure of private information.
