The CEO of ShredWise, the company that came under fire after allegations were made it left sensitive documents exposed to the public, says he has evidence that the allegations are false.
B次元官网网址淭he allegations that we store unshredded documents in bins at our truck site are simply untrue and I can tell you that in the past week, weB次元官网网址檝e since uncovered clear evidence that supports what weB次元官网网址檝e maintained all along B次元官网网址� that our procedures were deliberately contravened in this instance,B次元官网网址� ShredWise CEO Tino Fluckiger wrote to Peace Arch B次元官网网址.
B次元官网网址淣o documents, casino cards or any other papers should ever be in our inventory of empty collection bins which we give our customers to use.B次元官网网址�
Fluckiger said his company has turned the matter over to the RCMP. The Surrey RCMP confirmed to PAN Wednesday that they are investigating a report received from ShredWise.
B次元官网网址淪o with a police investigation underway, I canB次元官网网址檛 say much more,B次元官网网址� Fluckiger said.
The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) has made changes to its policy after troves of used casino cards were allegedly left exposed to the public.
Earlier this month, B次元官网网址 1130 reported that it was alerted by a B次元官网网址渨histleblowerB次元官网网址� of bins of unshredded documents and piles of intact Grand Villa Casino cards in a Surrey truck park parking lot.
The radio-station also reported that sensitive medical documents B次元官网网址� including someoneB次元官网网址檚 HIV test results B次元官网网址� were left exposed to the public. Fraser Health has said that it does not use ShredWiseB次元官网网址檚 services.

BCLC media officer Matt Lee told PAN via email Tuesday that BCLC has directed Grand Villa to replace all playing cards with a new series in order to mitigate the possibility of discarded, intact playing cards being put into play.
B次元官网网址淥ut of an abundance of caution, BCLC directed all B.C. casinos to cease the shredding of used playing cards by contracted document shredding services until further notice,B次元官网网址� Lee wrote to PAN.
B次元官网网址淪ervice providers may use alternatives including drilling with standard card-punching equipment or industrial incineration in accordance with BCLC standards for the secure destruction of gambling supplies. BCLC has verified that no other B.C. gambling and entertainment facilities use Shredwise to destroy gambling supplies.B次元官网网址�
Fluckiger told PAN that the privacy of ShredWise clients remains their top priority, B次元官网网址渁nd as I stated previously, we were as surprised as anyone at this development.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淪hredWise has been in business for 13 years and shreds more than 16 million documents every month. I have never seen an issue like this before and we will take every measure we can to ensure that it doesnB次元官网网址檛 happen again,B次元官网网址� Fluckiger wrote.
