TORONTO, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Data
privacy is a pressing concern for the overwhelming majority of
Canadians - a 2018-19 study indicates (92%) of Canadians are
concerned about the protection of their privacy - but many do not
believe that businesses respect it. A significant number (45%)
disagreed that businesses respect their privacy, and 17% were
neutral, neither agreeing or disagreeing.
In our modern world, many consider privacy an online issue - but
a lack of speech privacy means confidential information can just as
easily be revealed in a physical space, like a medical or legal
office, or a corporate workplace where sensitive data is
shared.
AcoustiGuard-Wilrep Ltd.'s Privacy Board and Return-Air Silencer
System is a cost-effective sound control product that helps ensure
speech privacy. It is an easy-to-install, pre-made barrier that
closes the gap in plenum spaces above offices to provide a high
degree of acoustic isolation between rooms. In addition to medical
and legal offices, consider where the Privacy Board system would be
useful: boardrooms, HR rooms, and financial institutions.
"We are pleased to offer The Privacy Board System as a solution
to office privacy and acoustic concerns. Medical professionals,
lawyers, and business owners can't risk the negligent disclosure of
sensitive information due to inadequate sound control between
rooms. The stakes are too high, with the potential for fines and
lawsuits, on one hand, and the leak of confidential company and
personal data on the other. The Privacy Board System is already
being used in hundreds of offices across North America; our customers and contractors
report it is extremely effective in addressing their acoustic
concerns," says Bill Wilkinson Jr.,
Co-Owner of AcoustiGuard-Wilrep Ltd.
The Return-Air Silencer is what sets the Privacy Board system
apart: unlike mass-loaded vinyl products, it does not disrupt the
HVAC airflow above the wall space. Other products will affect this
and cause temperature disparities in rooms and a feeling of
'stuffiness.' In addition, Privacy Board components have a Class 1
fire rating.
Consider the consequences of shared sensitive medical
information, someone's credit rating, or the breach of a
Non-Disclosure Agreement due to poor office acoustics.
Regulations require that medical professionals and business
owners protect customers' personal information. PIPEDA and various
provincial laws cover the negligent disclosure of such information.
If a breach is reported, the Privacy Commissioner may award damages
to the complainant, including compensation for any humiliation
suffered.
Prevent the negligent disclosure of sensitive information and
the consequences that could accompany it with AcoustiGuard-Wilrep
Ltd.'s Privacy Board and Return-Air Silencer System.
