Protect Your Data Before Selling, Donating, or Disposing of an Old Computer
When you plan to sell, donate, or dispose of an old computer, safeguarding your personal and business data is essential. Deleting files or reformatting the hard drive doesn’t completely erase your information—advanced tools can still recover it. To prevent data theft or misuse, your hard drive must be securely sanitized by entirely overwriting its contents. Without proper data removal, sensitive information like passwords, financial records, and confidential business files can remain accessible.

MyTECHWIZ offers professional-grade data destruction services to ensure your information is thoroughly and securely erased. We provide 12 data sanitization options, including Secure Erase, which meets government and industry standards for data protection. These methods are trusted by organizations that handle highly sensitive data, ensuring your information cannot be recovered.

This option is ideal for individuals and businesses requiring an extra layer of confidence in data protection.
Environmentally Responsible Disposal
Our data sanitization and destruction services are thorough and environmentally responsible. We ensure all disposed materials are handled in compliance with e-waste recycling standards, reducing environmental impact while protecting your privacy.
