FAQ

Your questions about
data erasure, answered.

Everything you need to know about how we protect your personal information.

01 What exactly is BitRaser and why do you use it?
BitRaser is a globally recognized data sanitization platform used by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and healthcare organizations. Unlike a factory reset — which only removes file system pointers and leaves recoverable data behind — BitRaser performs multiple overwrite passes across every sector of your device's storage. We chose BitRaser because it meets the strictest international standards and because our customers deserve enterprise-grade protection.
02 Is a factory reset not sufficient to protect my data?
No — a factory reset is not sufficient. It only removes the file system index, making files appear deleted while leaving the underlying data intact on the storage medium. With widely available recovery tools, someone could retrieve your photos, messages, passwords, and financial data after a standard factory reset. BitRaser overwrites the actual data at the hardware level, making recovery virtually impossible.
03 What international standards does your erasure meet?
Our BitRaser protocol meets and exceeds NIST 800-88 (the US government's official media sanitization guidelines), GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure under European data law), DoD 5220.22-M (the US Department of Defense standard), and HIPAA Safe Harbor provisions for healthcare data. These are the same standards required by regulated industries and government procurement contracts.
04 Do I receive a certificate of data destruction?
Yes. Every erasure session generates a tamper-proof certificate of data destruction. This document confirms that your device's data was permanently erased in compliance with applicable standards. It serves as an auditable record — useful for personal peace of mind, corporate IT compliance, or regulatory documentation requirements.
05 What if my device is too damaged to erase normally?
In the rare case where a device's storage is physically damaged or inaccessible, we use physical destruction methods to ensure the data is unrecoverable. Our chain-of-custody protocols document every step. If you have specific concerns about a heavily damaged device, contact us before shipping and we'll advise on the best approach.
06 Does Gadget Salvation store any of my personal data?
We only collect the information necessary to process your trade-in and payment (name, shipping address, payment details). We never access or store the personal data on your device — the entire point of the BitRaser protocol is to ensure that data is destroyed before anyone can see it. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
