Old Dominion 91¶ÌÊÓƵ is committed to complying with Federal regulations concerning the detection, prevention and mitigation of identity theft. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the subsequent "Red Flags Rule" of 2007, the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ is required to establish and maintain an Identity Theft Protection Program (hereinafter referred to as "Program") to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft in connection with new and existing covered accounts.

This policy applies in three applications affecting diverse 91¶ÌÊÓƵ constituencies. The first application occurs in the use of criminal background checks performed to employ an individual. The second application occurs in any credit transaction. The third application occurs in the issuance, reissuance or refilling of debit cards.

Each department or unit within the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ that conducts background checks or performs any credit or debit transaction shall develop reasonable written policies and procedures to:

1. Identify relevant Red Flags for new and existing covered accounts and incorporate those Red Flags into the Program;

2. Detect Red Flags that have been incorporated into the Program;

3. Respond appropriately to any Red Flags that are detected to prevent and mitigate identity theft; and

4. Ensure the Program is reviewed at least annually in order to identify and address changes in risks to students, employees, and/or job applicants or to the safety and soundness of the student, employee, and/or job applicant from identity theft.
