At the Meadows, we understand that your sensitive information must be handled securely in order to protect your business interests and your customers’ privacy. Confidential data destruction is more than an individual business concern; it is often a legal mandate, and violation of privacy laws can have significant ramifications for your business or organization.
The types of information which must be kept secure and confidential vary according to the services your business offers. If this data is not disposed of securely, it can result in identity theft, release of contact information, and loss of competitive advantage. From receipt of your data through its destruction, the Meadows diligently ensures the protection of your privacy and confidentiality.
The Meadows destroys sensitive and confidential data in a variety of formats: plastic cards, audio and video cassettes, back-up cartridges, and magnetic tapes. We also offer hard drive shredding and pill bottle destruction.
We make data destruction as simple and convenient as possible for our customers. Your data may be dropped off at our location in Edmond, Oklahoma, or we can even pick it up for you all across Oklahoma. Our team of workers sort on-site, which means that you do not have to sort or remove folders, notebooks, paper clips, or staples. While your data awaits destruction, it is kept secure at all times in our latched and locked bins and trucks.
