Corrections in records shall be made only by drawing a straight line through the inac- curate entry and clearly printing the accurate information directly above the inaccurate entry. All other methods of correction, including but not limited to erasing, opaquing, obliterating or redacting, are prohibited.] THE PROCESS SERVER SHALL PRESERVE SUCH RECORD BY SUBMITTING RECORDED ENTRIES TO A THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR WITHIN THREE DAYS OF SERVICE OR ATTEMPTED SERVICE, PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT PERMISSIONS PERTAINING TO SUCH DATA WILL BE SECURED SO THAT THE DATA CANNOT BE DELETED UPON SUBMISSION. RECORDS SHALL BE REPORTED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PROCESS SERVER TO TAMPER WITH DATA OR PROPERTIES OF ANY ELECTRONIC RECORD KEPT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION AFTER AN IMAGE FILE IS MADE BY MODIFYING, AMENDING, DELETING, REARRANG- ING OR IN ANY OTHER WAY ALTERING ANY SUCH DATA OR PROPERTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, USING A META DATA SCRUBBER OR SIMILAR DEVICE OR PROGRAM. IF A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED OR IF DATA CONTAINED IN THE PROCESS SERVER'S RECORD WAS ACCIDENTALLY OMITTED FROM THE ELECTRONIC DATA ENTRY, THE THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR MAY MAKE AN AMENDMENT IN WHICH THE ORIGINAL RECORD SHALL BE IDENTIFIED BY ENTERING IT IN ITALICS. ALL THIRD PARTY CONTRACTORS MUST MAINTAIN A DAILY BACKUP OF ALL SUBMITTED EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
