Information about the people ...

People would be more secure in their personal information if they owned it and controlled it wherever it was stored, but that has not been the case in the U.S. Now, the IRS has stepped forward and afforded tax payers more privacy and control on the information in their return. Tax preparers must disclose and obtain consent of the tax payer when they send a return to a preparer overseas. This could mark the beginning of regulations on information transmitted offshore and more oversight in offshore outsourcing. Something to watch as more U.S. e-discovery is processed offshore.
