The April issue of the Greater Boston Bookkeeping newsletter discusses the Massachusetts privacy and data protection law (formally called 201 CMR 17.00: STANDARDS FOR THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OF RESIDENTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH (part of M.G.L. c.93H).
If you are an individual or business and you have information that combines a Massachusetts citizen's name along with his/her credit card number, social security number, financial account number or state issued identification number -- then you or your company must take certain steps to be compliant by January 1, 2010.
See the complete article: Massachusetts' New Privacy and Data Protection Law to see how Greater Boston Bookkeeping is already complying with this law.
