Cintas and Google in the News

Ten countries have publicly criticized Google for not protecting its records, or more specifically, its users' records. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and Britain have written a joint letter in response to Google rolling out its new social networking site called Buzz, which melded gmail information with the social networking site.

Google says they have made changes in response to the letter, and that they try "very hard to be upfront about the data we collect, and how we use it, as well as to build meaningful controls into our products."

"Of course we do not get everything 100 percent right -- that is why we acted so quickly on Buzz following the user feedback we received," a spokesman said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

Cintas, a company known for a variety of business services, including document management, was selected yesterday by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council to become a participating organization of its global forum. The forum's goal is for ongoing development of PCI standards and work to evolve the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) and other payment card data protection standards. The mission of the PCI Security Standards Council is to enhance payment account security by driving education and awareness of PCI security standards.
