Did you know...

• Files that you have deleted or emptied from the recycle bin are merely hidden (marked as deleted but not really removed from your hard drive), and can be recovered with widely available data recovery software.

• Reformatting your hard drive does not guarantee that your data is destroyed.      


• Loaning, selling or donating your computer without properly destroying sensitive data first is an invitation to identity theft and allows thieves to easily access your personal information.


• Don't reformat your entire hard drive when selling your computer, instead only shred those sensitive data files you don’t want others to ever restore or retrieve, thereby increasing the value of your computer by keeping all valuable software intact.

The only way to protect your privacy is to permanently overwrite and shred your sensitive data using a professional file shredder and history eraser tool such as AceErase!
