Data Protection & GDPR for IT Recycling

Protecting confidential information when IT equipment is retired. CPR combines secure collection arrangements with traceable VerifyErase data sanitisation and documented processing procedures.

FREE collections depend on postcode and qualifying equipment; paid, pallet and Send Direct alternatives may be available. No obligation to request.

Our approach to data protection

Deleting a file is not the same as sanitising a storage device. Data may remain recoverable unless an appropriate method is selected and its successful completion checked. CPR applies media-appropriate erasure methods through VerifyErase and retains evidence of the result where applicable.

CPR鈥檚 general policy for personal information covers lawful, fair and transparent processing, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, retention, security, accountability and applicable individual rights. This policy must be read alongside the UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018 and subsequent amendments.

Our published policy documents set out CPR鈥檚 approach to protecting personal information, secure handling of retired IT equipment and accountable data disposal. You can read or download the relevant documents below.

What CPR provides

Secure collection and handling

Organisations need confidence that devices remain accountable from collection through final processing. CPR records the collection and assesses media for the appropriate treatment.

Traceable data sanitisation

CPR鈥檚 VerifyErase software captures device identity and the sanitisation outcome, with verification evidence and available certificates for successfully completed erasures.

Data protection governance

CPR maintains policy and escalation arrangements for data access, use, retention, security, disposal, individual requests and suspected breaches.

Your responsibilities, supported by CPR

For companies, schools and organisations, responsible IT retirement means documented collection, appropriate security and lawful recycling arrangements. We make it easier to choose a practical collection and data-handling route.
