Using "Kinkos" should NOT be an alternative

I do not have a "Kinkos" in my area and even if I did I would not use them, or any of the stores similar to them for printing docs. (Nothing against "Kinkos" just using their name because it was brought up in an earlier posting)
How many of you out there (that use a service of this type) stop to think about the information that these documents contain and how many people that work at "Kinkos" etc. could possibly be privy to this information. ie...Names & Address of borrowers, SS#, Telephone numbers, where they work, salary. And what if one of the employees there is a neighbor to a borrower and see all of this information. I, for one, do not want my neighbors to know all of this about me. Not to mention the fact that identity theft is rising every day.
Do you (over worked notaries that need a service of this type) stop and think that you are supposed to keep all of this information private.

U.S Code Title 18 is supposed to prevent it but most don't follow it or even know what it is. There is usually a sticker right on the copy machine/computer in Kinko's. I can't imagine using them to print/copy docs. The cost alone isn't profitable plus standing in line is a waste of time. Much better to invest in a good computer and laser printer.

This is why we need a national association that could help gather all the law's we are supposed to follow but know very little about...if you look at all the local/state/fed guidelines..it's clear the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.

It would be nice if you would read the post before responding. Under normal circumstances, I would not have used Office Max or any other company. But, it was an emergency. I stood there while they deleted the email and shredded anyunnecessary paper work.

By the way, what is the rest of the U.S. Code Title 18? The accutal numbers (besides just U.S. Code Title 18)

You will find the sticker on most public copy machines...

and that will give you the proper information to look up the code. Happy researching

Re: You will find the sticker on most public copy machines...

I think this may be the section that you were suggesting that was violated. If it is, and you read it nothing was violated. Since the email was deleted and any documents not need destroyed (in front of me) there was nothing disclosed to anyone but the borrowers and me.

GET A LIFE!! AND STOP PRACTICING LAW! That is, unless you're an attorney.



U.S. Code Title 18 § 2702. Voluntary disclosure of customer communications or records

(A) on behalf of, and received by means of electronic transmission from (or created by means of computer processing of communications received by means of electronic transmission from), a subscriber or customer of such service;


(B) solely for the purpose of providing storage or computer processing services to such subscriber or customer, if the provider is not authorized to access the contents of any such communications for purposes of providing any services other than storage or computer processing; and
