How can I safely dispose of sensitive documents and paperwork to prevent identity theft?

1. Shred your documents with a cross-cut shredder.
2. Permanently erase electronic data on computers, phones, and other electronic devices.
3. Opt out of pre-approved credit offers.
4. Use a secure, locked mailbox.
5. Avoid leaving documents unattended or in publicly accessible areas.
6. Make sure your DPV (data destruction/paper shredding) company is GDPR compliant.
