Police Unaware That Dumping Medical Records Is A Crime

Police Unaware That Dumping Medical Records Is A Crime

December 22, 2016 by Gary Scott News

MELVINDALE: Income tax, medical records dumped in bins behind church – thenewsherald.com.

Police officers who recovered thousands of income tax returns and medical records from a paper recycling were unaware if there was a crime committed.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB) governs the collection and disclosure of customers’ personal and financial information.

This law requires companies to maintain safeguards to protect customer information.  Safeguards clearly failed in this case.

Companies are subject to civil penalties of not more than $100,000 for each violation; officers and Directors are subject (personally) for not more than $100,000 for each violation; criminal penalties of up to 5 years in prison.
