Sensitive Information
What’s in your trash?
- If it’s a wadded up piece of paper with sensitive or sensitive-enhanced information, you’re doing something wrong. Properly dispose of this information when no longer needed. Cross-shred documents or lock them in a file cabinet or desk drawer.
- Follow USPS data and legal retention requirements. The information is available in Handbook AS-805-Information Security.
The Postal Service takes pride in maintaining public trust and protecting employee and business customer information.
And that’s smart business.
