If the fax machine is in a public area, it becomes accessible to whoever can enter that space. This means documents you send and receive have the potential to be viewed by unauthorised individuals. Let\u2019s use the example of a physiotherapist sending patient information to a doctor\u2019s surgery. If that fax arrives in an unattended reception area, a member of the public could potentially pick up and read the file. This scenario is extreme, but it\u2019s not unrealistic. More commonly, a business may send over client information for the eyes of a particular individual, but it is intercepted by another member of staff who shares fax machine use.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-defd6d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"defd6d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.
