What we do:

Pure IT Recycling Ltd aims to offer the most secure, flexible and cost-effective collection, data destruction and recycling service in Scotland.

We are fully aware of our clients’ responsibilities under the Data Protection Act 1998. Not only do we offer a guaranteed and certified data destruction service, by either wiping or physically destroying the items containing such data, but we ensure security from the time of collection through to destruction.

  • First of all, we attach unique number stickers to any item containing data at the time of collection and any loose hard drives are loaded into a secure storage box.
  • The collection vehicle is always supervised or locked once collection has commenced.
  • The collection vehicle is unloaded inside our warehouse to avoid any potential theft while unloading.
  • The data-containing items are put straight into processing or kept in a secure holding cage until processing and destruction.

Why do we do this:

The Data Protection Act 1998 applies to all personal data whether it’s about your clients or employees and applies to all personal data as minor as phone numbers and addresses.

All companies holding personal data relating to employees and/or customers are responsible for complying with The Data Protection Act 1998. The Act states that companies have a duty of care to ensure that such data is kept confidential and does not leak into the public domain.
