McLEAN, Va. –

Because so many potential compliance pitfalls might surface in the finance office and other areas of dealership showrooms, NADA University Online will host a free webinar titled, “Safeguarding Your Customer Data: New Rules, Best Practices,” tapping the expertise of Dealertrack Technologies associate general counsel Randy Hendrick.

Association officials indicated the free 30-minute webinar will begin at 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Henrick will discuss how to implement best practices to safeguard dealerships against data security breaches and understand changes that need to be made to a dealership's safeguards program to meet Federal Trade Commission requirements.

“Attendees will learn how to identify problems before they become data breaches and strategies to train employees to protect customer information and secure their business,” NADA said.

Dealer principals, managers and other staff personnel can register for the session here.
