 | Effective June 2005, this law requires businesses that collect customer information to ensure that the information is protected from "unauthorized access or use." In addition, the Disposal Rule requires that when such information is discarded, it must be appropriately destroyed by shredding, burning or pulverizing. The federal government's website states that "although the Disposal Rule applies to consumer reports and the information derived from consumer reports, the Federal Trade Commission encourages those who dispose of any records containing a consumer's personal or financial information to take similar protective measures." |
