The Applicable Laws

FACTA -The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 also known as the FACT Act was signed into law on December 4, 2003. The Act amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). FATCA contains a number of provisions intended to combat consumer fraud, identity theft and related crimes. Specifically, it requires the destruction of ANY PAPERS CONTAINING CONSUMER INFORMATION. Therefore, FATCA affects virtually every business.

The proposed DISPOSAL RULE
Sec. 682.3 Proper disposal of consumer information.

• A) Standard. Any person who maintains or otherwise possesses consumer information, or any compilation of consumer information, for a business purpose must properly dispose of such information by taking reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to or use of the information in connection with its disposal.
• B) Examples. Reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to or use of consumer information in connection with its disposal would include implementing and monitoring compliance with policies and procedures that require the burning, pulverizing, or shredding of papers containing consumer information so that the information cannot practicably be read or reconstructed.

HIPAA - The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 regulates the healthcare industry in the United States and assures that healthcare organizations will be responsible for the secure electronic transmission, secure storage and disposal of patient information.

GLBA - Gram-Leach-Bliley/Act mandates that financial institutions that obtain non-public personal information through the normal course of business must develop precautions to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information, and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records.
