Why privacy filters? Guidance issued by the Data Protection Act Commissionaire confirms that appropriate safeguards should be put into place to ensure there is no disclosure of personal data to an unauthorised third party, without the consent of the individual concerned. By restricting the viewing angles of screens, privacy filters can help with compliance. Protecting sensitive or confidential information is hard enough in the office, but with icrease usage of laptops, the risks of data loss and leakage are rapidly rising.
Ever worked on your laptop in a public place and felt like someone was looking at your data? Chances are, someone was!
Surveys have revealed that 89% of business travellers will snoop on their unsuspecting neighbours and that 69% of people don’t do anything to conceal their data. Data leakage is a serious issue - reduce it with a 3M Privacy Filter so that only you can see on-screen information.
