FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Question: I'm concerned about the data on my hard drive(s) in my computer(s). How do you handle this and other sensitive media?
Answer: YOUR IMPORTANT DATA SECURITY
All hard drives that are required to be destroyed are, without any reservations. Any that can be salvaged for reuse are prepared by following the federal (DOD) low leveling standards which includes but is not limited to a triple pass low level configuration. If you require a higher standard than 3 passes, you may want to request a certificate of destruction and have your hard drive(s) destroyed.
Per customer request, all other sensitive media are treated with the highest amount of care and security to insure the confidentiality of all entities in question. Other sensitive media would be CD's, tapes, etc.
It is the customers responsibility to low level/destroy their sensitive media like hard drives, tapes, etc. if they don't request Stone Castle Recycling to do this service and obtain a certificate of destruction.
Remember, if in doubt, the customer can request a certificate of destruction, and Stone Castle Recycling will destroy your hard drive(s) and other sensitive media. Here is a basic example of the destruction process for a hard drive. The hard drive is removed from the computer. The circuit board is removed. The rest of the hard drive is shredded/ground including the platters where your data is stored. The scrap is then recycled. It's much more involved than that, but hopefully you get the idea.
Your data security is very important to you and us, therefore please ask us about these much needed services that we provide and have been providing for several years.
Thank you for your VERY important question on data security...We hope this answers your question adequately...please contact us if you need more information.
