Preventing and Mitigating Identity Theft Clause Samples

Preventing and Mitigating Identity Theft. We have reviewed our covered accounts, how we open and allow access to them, and our previous experience with identity theft, as well as new methods of identity theft we have seen or foresee as likely. Based on this and our review of the FTC’s identity theft rules and its suggested responses to mitigate identity theft, as well as other sources, we have developed our procedures below to respond to detected identity theft Red Flags.

Preventing and Mitigating Identity Theft. Once a Red Flag has been detected by a Badcock employee or store personnel or a customer, law enforcement, or any other person notifies Badcock of possible identity theft in connection with a covered account or an existing covered account, CSARM or the Legal Department must be notified. The Senior Vice President of Credit Services and Account Receivables Management (CSARM) or his/her designee will determine Badcock’s response(s) to any Red Flags detected or identified. Such response(s) will be commensurate with the degree of risk posed and consideration of all the facts and circumstances. Appropriate responses may include, but are not limited to, the following ● Denying an applicant’s request to open an account; ● Denying access or use of an existing account; ● Monitoring a covered account for evidence of identity theft; ● Contacting the customer; ● Changing any passwords, security codes, or other security devices that permit access to the covered account; ● Reopening a covered account with a new account number; ● Notifying any credit reporting agencies to which Badcock has furnished information in connection with a covered account or any consumer associated with a consumer account; ● Closing an existing covered account; ● Not attempting to collect on a covered account; ● Notifying law enforcement; or ● Determining that no response is warranted under the particular circumstances.

  • Aggravating and Mitigating Factors The penalties in this matter were determined in consideration of all relevant circumstances, including statutory factors as described in CARB’s Enforcement Policy. CARB considered whether the violator came into compliance quickly and cooperated with the investigation; the extent of harm to public health, safety and welfare; nature and persistence of the violation, including the magnitude of the excess emissions; compliance history; preventative efforts taken; innovative nature and the magnitude of the effort required to comply, and the accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of the available test methods; efforts to attain, or provide for, compliance prior to violation; action taken to mitigate the violation; financial burden to the violator; and voluntary disclosure. The penalties are set at levels sufficient to deter violations, to remove any economic benefit or unfair advantage from noncompliance, to obtain swift compliance, and the potential costs, risks, and uncertainty associated with litigation. Penalties in future cases might be smaller or larger depending on the unique circumstances of the case.

  • Anti-Money Laundering and Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Programs The Trust acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review, consider and comment upon the written procedures provided by USBFS describing various tools used by USBFS which are designed to promote the detection and reporting of potential money laundering activity and identity theft by monitoring certain aspects of shareholder activity as well as written procedures for verifying a customer’s identity (collectively, the “Procedures”).

The Trust hereby directs, and USBFS acknowledges, that USBFS shall (i) permit federal regulators access to such information and records maintained by USBFS and relating to USBFS’ implementation of the Procedures, on behalf of the Trust, as they may request, and (ii) permit such federal regulators to inspect USBFS’ implementation of the Procedures on behalf of the Trust.
