Legal Question in Technology Law in New Hampshire

Employee printed client file

I own a small day spa and recently found that someone printed the cleint file out when I was not there. Is taking a copy of the client list for their personal use illegal? The employees did not sign a non compete agreement, but the did certainly did not have my consent to print out the client base.

Re: Employee printed client file

If you can establish the identity of the person who copied the data, you would have remedies; merely the threat of being sued is likely to result in the turnover of the print-out. Even absent any non-competition agreement, the misappropriation of your business' proprietary and confidential information is an actionable wrong....
