Even the personal information of home employees, such as nannies, maids or contractors is protected under the FACTA Rule.
Within FACTA is The Disposal Rule
The Disposal Rule applies to consumer reports and information pulled from consumer reports. To make it clear any information used for a consumer’s eligibility for credit, employment, insurance plus any other purpose falls under the Disposal Rule. The Rule requires disposal practices that are reasonable and appropriate to prevent the unauthorized access to, or use of, information in a consumer report. The best way to dispose of consumer report information is shredding of papers containing consumer report information so that the information cannot be read or reconstructed.
FACTA Requires Due Diligence Before You Hire a Shredding Company
The FACTA Law requires you conduct due diligence before you hire a document destruction contractor to dispose of material specifically identified as consumer report information. Due diligence includes: reviewing an independent audit of a disposal company’s operations and/or its compliance with the Rule; obtaining information about the disposal company from several references, reviewing and evaluating the disposal company’s information security policies or procedures. OR an easier way is to hire a shredding company that has been certified by a recognized trade association. The NAID AAA Certification is the only recognized certification by the Federal government for document destruction companies. FileShred is NAID AAA Certified.
