We live in a world where documents can be scanned, emailed, stored in the cloud, and accessed from virtually anywhere. So, if everything is going digital, why are we still talking about shredding?
Because paper isn’t going anywhere.
Even in the most digitally organized office, sensitive information still ends up on paper. Bank statements, tax documents, medical records, invoices, employee information, contracts, receipts, and printed emails can all contain personal or private details. Unlike a password-protected computer, a piece of paper in a recycling bin has no security system protecting it.
That’s why Peterborough Camera, Copies & More offers shredding services to meet your security needs.
What Should You Keep on Paper?
Going digital is convenient, but you may want to keep certain documents as physical copies, as some organizations require originals rather than scans.
Example documents include…
1) Birth certificates
2) Marriage certificates
3) Wills
4) Property deeds
5) Vehicle titles
6) Other legal or financial documents
For other paperwork, a digital copy may be perfectly adequate, but consider keeping paper copies of documents you may need during an emergency, power outage, or technology failure. Insurance information, emergency contacts, home inventories, and important account information can be useful to have readily available.
