What FACTA Means

What FACTA means is that if you as an individual, loses information about any person you have hired, or for any business in the United States of America, which collects personal information about individuals, whether information should be lost due to not destroying the information properly, then two things can happen. First, there are federal fines of up to $ 2,500.00, and state fines up to $ 1,000, per employee, per incident. Second, the business is liable for any damage that the individual suffers as a result of a violation of the information. Take an example that the company loses information due to destruction by neglect (ie you do not have a shredder and throw the information in the trash bin). Nothing in FACTA really determines what the employee must do to prove "negligent destruction" by the employer, so an employee could simply state that the employer had lost information, and even if the employer had been burned to ashes information, correspond to the employer to prove that the information had not come due to the negligence of your company.
