Blocking Out Identity Theft
Keep prying eyes from your data with these essential tools.
Looking for a quick way to black out personal information before you donate magazines, toss junk mail or recycle shipping boxes? Using a permanent marker or security roller stamp to protect your personal details on shipping labels, financial documents, prescription bottles and mail provides peace of mind without the need for shredding. Here are a couple of my favorite tools that get the job done:
The extra wide tip will black out a few address lines in one marker stroke. An added bonus, it’s quick-drying ink means less mess on your hands.
Available in several styles and sizes, the Guard Your ID Roller Stamp is designed to make protecting your private data simple with one swipe. A push or roll of the stamp imprints a pattern on your information, making your details unreadable to prying eyes.
Keeping one or both of these tools on hand is an easy hack to help you stay on top of your daily mail sorting. A simple swipe of the info you want blocked and your mail can be tossed into the recycle bin. Inexpensive and easy to store, both the Sharpie Magnum and PLUS Guard Your ID Stamps are readily available at local office supply stores, and, of course online.
