The destruction of data media and the data stored on them is an essential part of data management. It begins with data collection and ends with data destruction. The relevant legal bases for the destruction of data media, USB sticks, or CDs are the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)<\/a> and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). As a matter of principle: anyone who collects, stores, and manages data for commercial purposes should also have it professionally destroyed afterwards. A certified waste management company assumes responsibility and liability for compliant data media destruction upon handover of the media to be destroyed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
