Do you shred documents that contain private information before you dispose of them? Do you even worry about stuff like this?

Old bank statements. Medical records. Prescription data. Paid bills. Copies of applications. Financial reports.

Anything that might contain account numbers, social security numbers, passwords, mother’s maiden name, etc.—information you would not want to expose where someone with adverse intentions might get hold of it.

Do you just drop them in the trash when you’re through with them? Do you take care that they won’t reveal sensitive data if someone goes through your recycle bin? Do you shred, black out, or burn them?

If you keep all such things online and not in hard copy, don’t you ever worry that you’ll lose it all when your computer dies, or the internet goes down—or you lose access?
