A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.

Contracts should clearly define the circumstances under which entry will be provided, including verification of customer's authority to grant access.

The POA includes the authority for your agent to oversee data security requirements mandated by the NY SHIELD Act. This ensures that sensitive information related to access control systems and personal data of New York residents remains protected even if you are not personally managing daily operations.
