It’s not rocket science but it does make sense
Why leave your personal data to chance? There are growing issues around cyber security… But, there are simple routines you can put in place on a daily basis at home or at work to ensure your personal details don’t get stolen and replicated.
So, what passes as data-bearing documentation? Here is just a selection of paper-based items that encompass this;
- Medical letters
- Bank statements
- Utility bills
- Credit card statements
- Legal documents
- Payslips
- Quotations
- Electoral roll letters
- Employment documents
- Vehicle documentation
- Old passports
- Catalogues
- Personalised junk mail
- Personal mail
What you can do…
1, Remove personal details from waste documentation and cut into tiny pieces
2, Burn paperwork in a fire, though not particularly environmentally friendly
3, Shred it yourself using a home shredder (Just don’t put too much through though as they tend to only like one sheet at a time, and will come to a grinding halt if you accidentally leave a staple in the mix!) but your local authority will not take shredded paper – for some unknown reason
But, possibly one of the best courses of action you could take is to;
Collect these items of paperwork and then request S4B shredding bags on 01342 326806 for us to collect for secure document shredding. You will get a warm fuzzy glow that your redundant paperwork has been recycled and the benefit of peace of mind that they have been securely shredded and not left the door open for your personal information to be replicated.
Aaaaaaandddddd Relaaaaaaaax, put your feet up, and have a cuppa of smugness.
