Why Should Residents Care About Data Destruction?

https://www.shredtronics.com/wp-content/uploads/bigstock-Recycling-Concept-An-Electron-289618225.webp

Identity theft and personal data breaches are constantly on the rise. Around 33% of US citizens have been victims of identity theft in their lives. That’s more than double the global average. In addition, the FTC reports the average cost per victim for all identity theft in 2023 was $4,800. 

Your old devices hold a ton of personal information that is extremely valuable to thieves, including banking information, passwords, any confidential notes, pictures, and more. Trading in, donating, or selling your old devices leaves you unsure where exactly they are going. Your devices in the wrong hands can lead to devastating expenses and possibly even reputational damage. Secure data destruction services help residential customers protect their data from identity theft and personal data breaches. 

ShredTronics services ensure that your data is completely unrecoverable so it won’t end up in the wrong hands. Additionally, you will be helping keep the hazardous materials within your devices out of the environment. The parts of your devices that can be recycled will be made into new devices as well.
