At Free Geek we put the utmost care in ensuring complete data destruction of All user data that is donated to us.
Hard drives that meet our specifications for reuse are removed from their systems and wiped in our hard drive sanitation banks. The process we use to ensure total data destruction complies to DOD ( Department of Defense ) 5220-22.M standards for data destruction. Every sector of the Hard Drive is overwritten 3 times using a destructive write which ensures that ALL data on the drive is completely destroyed and totally unrecoverable.
Hard drives that are below our specifications for reuse are physically destroyed on site.
Magnetic media such as floppy disks and backup tapes are disassembled in our recycling area and the plastic components are shredded by our plastics recycling vendor.
Optical media such as cd-rw discs are physically destroyed as soon as we receive them
