Responsibility: Privacy Doesn’t End at Recycling
Data privacy doesn’t end at recycling. Responsible recycling ensures secure handling, chain of custody, and verified data removal—protecting people and the planet.
When Data Doesn’t Go Away: Why Intentional End-of-Life Decisions Matter
Data doesn’t disappear when devices are deleted, broken, or reset. Intentional sanitization or destruction is the only way to stay secure.
Preservation: Keeping the Data You Still Need
Data security isn’t deleting everything. Preservation means securely backing up and protecting the data you still need as devices change or retire
Digital Footprint: Your Data Isn’t Just on Devices
Getting rid of a device doesn’t mean your data is gone. Emails, files, photos, and account details often live on in cloud backups, apps, and vendor systems long after hardware is retired. Forgotten accounts and automatic syncs create hidden risks that many people never see. Understanding your digital footprint means managing where data lives—not just where devices go.

Knowing what devices you have—and where they are—is the first step to protecting data and managing technology responsibly.
