The Florida Unlawful Use of Personal Identification Act (UPIA)
What is UPIA?
UPIA protects Florida residents from misuse of their personal information. The Act mandates the protection of such information by businesses operating in the state and outlines an organization’s obligations to its customers in the event of a security breach.
UPIA also informs businesses on the appropriate methods for notifying Florida residents who may be unduly affected by a security breach, including special requirements for large-scale security breaches.
Who is affected by UPIA?
- A social security number
- A driver’s license number or Florida Identification Card number
- A financial account number
- A credit card or debit card number accompanied by applicable passwords or security codes
- A government passport number medical records
Any business that fails to report a suspected breach within 45 days of its determination is liable for an administrative fine as high as $500,000.

I could not have made a better decision. They are always timely and secure and, most importantly for a nonprofit, are incredibly well priced. I used to put off cleaning out my locked file cabinet due to the amount of time I would spend sitting by the shredder. With Proshred, I can ensure that all of our constituent's sensitive information is treated with care and security, and I don't even have to think twice about it. Thank you, Proshred! read less

It is easy to build a repore with the drivers at Proshred. Nick usually services our office and is a tremendous and friendly worker. They are 2-3 times quicker than our previous company and have proved to be reliable, efficient, and all around excellent. If you haven't made a switch to Proshred for your documents shredding, I suggest you do so. read less
