To help consumers fight against identity theft, Cintas
Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS), a leader in secure document management
services, today announced it is the official document management
partner for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling’s
(NFCC’s) annual National Protect Your Identity Week. The National
Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) and the National Association of Triads
(NATI) are also joining the NFCC as co-hosts this year.
Taking place October 20-27, the week will consist of identity
theft education and protection events across the country, with many
including free shredding services powered by Cintas. Anyone can
participate by bringing personal documents to their local event to
have them securely shredded by an on-site Cintas shredding truck
along with a certified Cintas representative at participating
locations.
From drop-off to destruction, all documents will be constantly
monitored and protected. All of the shredded documents will be
recycled into secondary paper products, such as paper towels and
tissue paper to reduce waste and impact on the environment.
“We are proud to partner with the NFCC, NSA and NATI for the
third year in a row to raise awareness of identity theft,” said
Jamie Samide, senior director of marketing for emerging business,
Cintas Document Management. “We are also excited to help fight
identity theft by offering consumers our secure shredding services
free of charge to ensure that their private information is securely
destroyed.”
This year’s Protect Your Identity Week will focus on identity
theft education and awareness for mobile device protection.
AllClear ID, a title sponsor, will provide information on how to
find out if your mobile devices are protected from identity theft.
In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to donate their
mobile phone to HopeLine from Verizon. HopeLine collects
no-longer-used wireless phones and accessories and puts them to
work in communities helping victims and survivors of domestic
violence.
“Despite the dependence we place in our smartphones, 62 percent
of users do not use a password on their home screen. Consumers need
to recognize that the convenience of smartphones also allows the
opportunity for thieves to help themselves to our personal
information,” said Gail Cunningham, vice president of membership
and public relations, NFCC. “We are thrilled to partner with such
reputable businesses that are focused on providing the best ways to
protect the technology you use every day to thwart identity
thieves.”
During Protect Your Identity Week, events will be hosted
nationwide by a local member of the NFCC, NSA, NATI or an
affiliated Coalition Member. For more information about Protect
Your Identity Week, including a list of all local events, please
