Safeguard Your Ownership and Trade Information Rights –
According to the Supreme Court, once you put a document in the trash, you forfeit all ownership. This makes your trash a primary target for anyone looking for information regarding your company. Although there are laws in place to protect you, the courts will not enforce your legal protections for improperly disposed of information. Shredding your documents is a prudent way to maintain confidentiality.
