Did you know that under the Data Protection Act you are required to guard against unauthorised disclosure of personal data? Discarding a computer containing personal data may lead to a contravention of the Act. This can result in enforcement action by the Data Protection Registrar as well as a possible claim for compensation from any individual affected by this neglect.

You may think you have done enough by deleting sensitive files or reformatting the hard drives. Think again. Neither action removes data completely from your computer. Should a third party end up with sensitive information contained on your obsolete computers, you may end up with a PR nightmare but it needn't cause you sleepless nights.
