Protecting Your Data
We’re doing everything we can to protect your data, but your participation in security and privacy are essential.
First, know that ADP will not request sensitive personal information such as Social Insurance Numbers, login credentials, or bank or credit card information via unsolicited phone, email, or internet-based communications. If this information is ever requested in a communication that you did not initiate, it is an indicator of a scam.
Please review the following best practices to help protect your organization and employees from these common types of scams and fraud:
Phishing and fraudulent emails
Social scams
Identity theft
Fraudulent cheque scams
Payroll fraud
In addition, here are some general best practices for privacy and security that everyone at your organization should keep in mind:
Email
- If an email seems suspicious, do not click on any of the links or open any attachments in the email. If you do, your computer can become infected with malware
- Let us know right away if you receive a suspicious email that looks like it is coming from ADP. Forward the original email you received as an attachment or a description of the text message to abuse@adp.com
