Privacy Policies For Portable Devices

摘要

People are storing more types of confidential information on mobile computing devices than their employers or they themselves know. Think about where you keep your credit card and bank account numbers, passwords, and confidential e-mails. What about strategic information about your organization? Merger or takeover plans? Information that could impact stock values? Imagine the business impact if an employee's USB drive or laptop was lost or stolen, revealing sensitive customer data such as credit reports, social security numbers, and contact information. Not only would this be a public relations disaster, but it could also violate laws and regulations. Consider the potential legal troubles for a public company whose sales reports, employee records, or expansion plans fell into the wrong hands.
