Protecting your Customer's Personal Information

Is personal information about your customers adequately protected? 

Any company handling personal information such as credit card accounts, social security numbers, banking information, and other personally identifiable information, must take extra steps to protect data from loss and theft or face significant penalties in the event of a breach.

A company today must comply with an increasing number of regulatory requirements affecting their business, including HIPAA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GBA) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA).

In an effort to protect individuals from the rising incidence of fraud and identity theft from data loss, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the latest legislative body to implement aggressive regulatory requirements to protect personal information with its new Massachusetts Privacy Law, 201 CMR 17.00: Standards for the Protection of Personal Information of Residents of the Commonwealth (MPL). This law affects any company, based in Massachusetts or elsewhere, conducting business with consumers and businesses in Massachusetts.

Retrievex has implemented policies and procedures to comply with MPL and other data privacy laws, and to safeguard the personal information that may be contained in its customers’ paper and electronic records. Retrievex has completed an extensive review of the requirements of MPL and other data privacy laws.
