Free Secure Data Erasure Service: Protect Data & the Environment
Welcome to our Free Secure Data Erasure Service! We understand the critical need for data security and environmental responsibility. Our service offers a comprehensive and eco-friendly approach to erasing sensitive data from hard drives while ensuring a minimal impact on the environment.
Our Erasure Process
Data Overwriting
We utilise a robust data overwriting process that includes multiple layers of erasure techniques:
- Overwriting data with (DoD Clearing Algorithm)
- HPA (Host Protected Area) data erasure
- Encryption removal
- Overwriting with zeros
- Our final test is to assess the heads and data to ensure all data is gone
Certificate Generation
Upon successful erasure, a unique certificate of destruction is generated based on the model and serial number of the hard drive. This certificate is available to view or download from our website. To find your certificate you will need to know your serial number, please note the model number and serial number from your device before handing it to us.
Database Searchable Certificate
Our searchable list will allow you to keep track of your device status.
Environmentally Conscious Handling
After the data erasure process, the hard drives are repurposed for parts within our services, minimizing electronic waste and contributing to a sustainable circular economy.
Environmental Impact of Data Erasure vs. Shredding
Hard Drive Shredding and Crushing: An Environmental Concern
Hard drive shredding, often practised as a means of disposal, poses severe environmental challenges:
- Release of toxic chemicals and particulates into air, water, and soil.
- Loss of rare earth materials crucial for technology.
- Wasteful destruction of precision-engineered parts.
Benefits of Data Erasure and Reuse
Opting for data erasure presents a greener alternative:
- Retaining hard drives for reuse extends their life cycle and reduces e-waste.
- Preserving precious metals, electrical power, water, and other valuable resources.
- Reducing the need for manufacturing new hard drives, thus cutting down on environmental impact.
Empowering Sustainable Choices
Trust in Data Erasure Technology
We aim to build trust in data erasure technology. Our service emphasizes secure erasure techniques, ensuring that data is completely wiped while advocating for environmental responsibility.
