We are fully compliant with all relevant legislation, including GDPR, to provide cost-effective and comprehensive disposal solutions that put our customers' needs first.

Today, your personal data is your most precious asset and you can be rest assured that our disposal solutions include destroying your data on the devices to be disposed. We are fully-certified to dispose of your computer and your data securely using specialist equipment and the latest cybersecurity expertise to destroy your data beyond use, including destroying data held on a hard disk or on magnetic tape.

However, as a precaution, we strongly advise that you back up and delete personal data to appropriate facilities (e.g. Cloud Backup, portable hard drive) to your satisfaction before disposing your computer, if you wish to keep your data yourself but want to remove it of your computer to be disposed.

Here's some top tips to follow before you dispose your computer:

• Overwrite and delete sensitive files: If you have sensitive files (e.g. tax documents, financial information), make sure you delete these files with specialized security software.
• Uninstall your programs: Some computer programs, such as Microsoft Office, may contain sensitive personal data (e.g. name and address).

Therefore, it is important to uninstall any programs on your computer before disposing your computer.

• Check your employer’s data-disposal policies: If you use your computer for work, check to manage the disposal of data with your employer to ensure you follow the correct protocol of your business. All businesses are required to follow data security and disposal requirements by law for customer-related information.
• Delete your browsing history: Today, it is commonplace for web browsers to save sensitive browsing history information and can even store your login details for websites, depending on your settings. To prevent unauthorised access, ensure you delete your browsing history. It is important to repeat this for any other browsers on your computer (e.g. Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome). Also, sign out of your account on Firefox and Chrome.
• Turn on drive encryption: This prevents unauthorised access by strangers.
• Wipe your hard drive: For PCs, once you've removed the data that is clearly visible on your computer (e.g. documents), it is essential to perform a factory reset to fully-remove all your personal files and software programs from your computer’s hard drive or SSD (Solid State Drive).

We treat the secure wiping of your data with extreme concern and are extremely honoured to continue to have an excellent history of successfully and appropriately destroying your sensitive information. Depending on your needs, we offer a tailored and effective solution to suit your individual requirements to ensure the entire process of disposing your computer remains hassle-free from start to finish to give you complete peace of mind.
