A Practical Guide to Privacy

and Security for Retailers

KIDESIGN.NET/RETAIL

The need to protect consumer and employee data gives rise to all sorts of practical issues. Is the collected data securely st ored?

Is it securely disposed of when no longer of use? Can its safety during transfer to third parties be guaranteed? Has consent been

obtained before collecting or using customer personal information?

Simply assuming that basic security software is sufficient to secure personal data exposes retailers to risk, and can have a number

of adverse consequences for which executives or directors may be held accountable. Data breaches can result in significant harm

to consumers whose data has been left unprotected, as well as reputational damage to the retailer, significant economic penalties

and ramification costs. Noncompliance with privacy laws can additionally trigger regulatory audits and penalties, potential

negligence findings and penalties against the company, and even criminal charges against staff. Investing in privacy compliance

and data protection provides assurance against these risks, and can also boost consumer trust.

Our Practical Guide has been devised to help retailers in both the US and Canada navigate the web of local and federal commercial

laws, and ensure that your business remains compliant with all relevant aspects of data privacy and security law.

KI Design specializes in data and privacy protection, and has worked in-depth on privacy and security maturity projects with private

companies in diverse sectors. We can help you secure your customer and employee personal data, and implement an industry-

benchmark level of privacy compliance. We offer a range of services, including corporate Privacy Impact Assessments, a Privacy
