Data Encryption for Mailings
Some mailings require additional protections to ensure data remains confidential when sent between parties. For most of these mailings we use PGP encryption to protect data. Depending on your data requirements we can always adjust to comply with your policies, but PGP encryption is most common in the industry.
Since different industries require different data security for mailings and each company typically has their own systems to protect and manage data, we will look to comply with the systems you have setup to manage your data. Though if systems are not developed we recommend that you acquire a PGP encryption software to encrypt data that will be sent for processing.
PGP stands for Pretty Good Encryption and each file is encrypted and locked with a public key. The only way for this file to be decrypted is for the owner of the public key to use their private key to unlock the file. There are a number of PGP software providers but we prefer to use Symantec.
Data security is big part of direct mail Action Mail will always keep files confidential and will work with your data management plan to make sure mailings and data storage complies with your policies.
