Privacy concerns in the US are rising rapidly, requiring time-consuming, labor-intensive, effective document redaction.

California and now Virginia have passed significant consumer data privacy laws. Any sensitive information like genetic, biometric, or precise geological data needs permission from a resident to collect and store. The resident has the right to see what data companies have collected about them and correct or delete it. Companies are required to get permission before collecting particularly sensitive types of data related to racial or ethnic origin, genetic data, and geolocation.

California’s privacy rules are already in effect. A dozen other states are poised to pass their own privacy laws. Washington, New Jersey and Utah are considering privacy legislation.

 

For electronic case filing, parties must redact the following personal data identifiers from documents filed with the Court:

Social Security Number [use the last four digits only if SSN must be included]
Financial account numbers [use the last four digits only if they are relevant]
Names of minors [use the minor’s initials only if they must be mentioned]
Dates of birth [use the year only if DOB must be included]
Home addresses [use city and state only if the home address must be included]

Numina MedLegal handles high-volume document processing, redaction, and medical records review.

Law firms, corporations, insurers, government agencies and consumers need to get redaction done. They also need to organize document collections into designated categories, track, redact, Bates-label, and update logs, as well as complete deposition summaries, witness interviews, transcripts, interview memoranda. There is also a need to utilize inhouse eDiscovery platforms and search discovery documents, prepare chronologies, assemble exhibits, prepare exhibit lists, create timelines of key documents, and provide dictation / video / document / data transcription.
