You might have heard that abuse of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) is a big problem in California. It is true. In fact, there were over 2,500 ADA lawsuits filed in California federal courts against business owners and property owners in 2016 alone.
Photocopy personal checks?
We run a small business in MI, and also maintain a mailing list of our customers (who knowingly signed up to be on). We do not share this mailing list with anyone.
1) is it legal to take our customers' mailing address off their checks and add them to our mailing list?
2) is it legal to photocopy personal checks so that we can add the info at a later time (of course destroying the photocopy afterwards)?
Thanks!
