As an online business, it is your responsibility to stay current on privacy and security laws affecting your business . . . and your customers.

Security & Privacy Drive Consumer Purchasing Decisions 85% of Americans are worried about becoming victims of identity theft. 64% of consumers say they had decided not to buy a company's product or service because they did not know how the company would use their personal information. 58% of consumers say if they were confident a business followed their declared security & privacy policies, they would recommend that business to family & friends.

Establish good security and privacy practices now. The alternative is decidedly distasteful. If you have a data breach resulting from weak security practices, you and your business can face lawsuits from the federal or state agencies or your customers. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently sued 12 companies it accused of having inadequate data security practices in violation of federal law. Lawsuits stemming from inadequate security practices can erode business equity, consumer trust and , ultimately, your bottom line. Even if you don't face legal action, your good reputation could be significantly compromised.
