How secure is your customer's data?

Websites collect lots of information about their users on a daily basis.  On the 20th November 2007, data security suddenly grabbed all the headlines as HMRC lost 25 million personal records.It raises the question: How much data do you hold about your consumers and what are you doing to keep that information secure? 

Unlike the HMRC you probably do not have 25 million records however you will still fall under the rules and regulations of the Data Protection Act 1998.  Put simply you must take reasonable steps to ensure the data you hold about your consumers is secure and ensure you have a privacy statement.
