Er, NO!

The fact is the data on your Hard Drive is your responsibility even if you sold it, or gave it to a third party who then sold it on.

You are the one that is responsible, you are the source of the data!

What we are getting at here is that you need to know that the company you are sending your old hard drive to will:

1. Fully Audit the process
2. Clean or destroy the drives
3. Finally give you a report confirming that all your old assets have been wiped, recycled and/or destroyed.

Companies like Secure Data Recycling are experts in this field and guarantee that your assets are managed properly, don’t cut corners or assume it could cost you and your company a lot of money!
