Old computers often contain contact lists, schedules, banking information, and even private company documents. They can also contain photos, email, conversation history from chat software, videos, music, and other personal data.

Companies in Canada are responsible to ensure that personal information has been securely destroyed when it is no longer required under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

You can protect yourself and your company from data theft by ensuring that your computer is either erased before donating it or hiring a company like ours to provide you with a certificate guaranteeing that your information is gone.

We offer flat rate physical data destruction services for $20 per hard disk or less depending on volumes. Hard Drives are destroyed and recycled and certificates of destruction are provided upon completion.  For those who need to see it destroyed to believe it, we offer on-site hard drive destruction as well, pricing varies depending on location and volume of drives to be destroyed.

For home users or those who just want to pass a computer on, there is a FREE solution available called DBAN that you can use yourself to wipe your hard drive to protect your privacy. You can download the software by clicking here.
