As the holiday celebration (and scamming) season begins, we need to be concerned about our data security, but we should also be concerned about our privacy. You may be one of those who say they are not worried about data privacy because “I have nothing to hide.” But today we all understand we have much significant information we must keep secure, such as banking and financial records. For lawyers, it is even more critical to have excellent personal data security practices because breaches of any of our digital devices or processes could result in leaks of confidential client communications.

Recalling Privacy by our colleague Catherine Reach, Director of North Carolina Bar Association Center for Practice Management, covers several areas where you can improve your privacy data protection and notes several tools and services that can assist you.
