Maintaining the privacy is very important to us. When you drop off a hard drive to Free Geek, we guarantee that its contents will never be looked at, and we will erase all personal data.
Hard drives are taken to a secure area, and are erased by writing two passes of random data to them. Drives that are no longer functional are physically destroyed so they cannot be read. Removable media, including CDs and floppies, are physically destroyed.
Free Geek can provide Certificates of Data Destruction for a fee of $10 per drive.
