Secure Your Data and Safeguard Your Devices
Fraud Prevention Month is a month-long crime prevention initiative aimed at educating and informing consumers and communities on how to recognize, report and stop fraud.
Addressing data security represents a core element of the ERA’s value proposition and service offering. We possess robust data wiping and physical destruction capabilities, and have employed these capabilities in partnership with Canadian Law Enforcement agencies as part of our efforts to raise awareness of the dangers associated with inadequate diligence around personal computing devices. Studies have shown that fear of data being recovered from old equipment is one of the biggest obstacles of reuse. When you utilize the ERA’s data destruction services, you can be assured that your data will be secure from retrieval.
Throughout the month of March the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) will be partnering with law enforcement agencies, community and consumer groups to host Free Data Destruction & Electronic Recycling Events for consumers & businesses across Canada.
Get rid of unwanted electronics (computers, laptops, cell phones, gaming consoles, printers, and tablets), while protecting your electronic data & personal information from cyber theft.
Drop off your items and ERA will data clean them and then recycle or refurbish the equipment. As an added bonus, there will be a powerful hard drive shredder onsite, so you can have your data destroyed FREE of charge while you watch.
