Protect privacy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52494\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Blade-1_5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1136\" height=\"1402\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fax cover sheets mitigate risks associated with sending sensitive data to another organization. In other words, it\u2019s an added step in protecting your organization from external factors leading to a compliance violation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a recipient\u2019s documents are received by a traditional fax machine, a cover sheet keeps the information protected from view when that fax lands in the document tray.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if the recipient gets <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/going-green-with-email-fax\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">faxes via email<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the cover sheet will protect the contents from being seen by the wrong user\u2014in situations where multiple users receive emails sent to the same account. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Ensure the correct recipient<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One more of the main fax cover sheet benefits is that they provide contact info for the sender. If a fax is erroneously delivered to the wrong organization, the cover sheet clearly displays who sent the document and how to reach them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Maintain compliance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Including an industry compliance fax disclaimer on your cover sheet is also important should the fax be mistakenly delivered to someone other than the intended recipient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a HIPAA fax disclaimer on the cover sheet directly notifies the recipient that reviewing, disclosing, and distributing the information in the document is prohibited. For your organization\u2019s own liability risks, this statement should never be left off your cover sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip\">\n<div class=\"tip-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udca5<\/span><b>Security and confidential document sharing via RingCentral eFax:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/fax\/features\/how-it-works.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transmit your faxes securely<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> over an encrypted connection (TLS) and store them in a password-protected account<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b><a id=\"should\"><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does a fax cover sheet look like?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what to put on a fax cover sheet::<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your organization\u2019s name and\/or branding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name of the employee who\u2019s sending the information<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your organization\u2019s phone number, email address, and address<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The date and time of sending<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fax number that you\u2019re sending the information to<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fax cover sheet disclaimer that\u2019s reviewed by your corporate counsel<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many companies have their own template-based fax cover sheets with their names and logos already printed on the page.
