Summary: As smartphone technology advances, the demand for latest mobile phones is at an all-time high leading to an increase in the purchase of new phones. This high refresh cycle of mobile devices has in turn led to a surge in the availability of second-hand mobile devices. Wiping Second-hand Mobile Devices securely using a professional data-wiping tool has become a necessity to ensure that data privacy is safeguarded both for the seller and the buyer.
The tech-savvy mobile phone users keep a watch on the new tech releases announced in smartphones year after year. The accumulation of used smartphones storing Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial (ROT) information contributes to smartphone pollution. If the data stored on these devices is not diligently erased it can lead to unauthorized access and result in potential security breaches. However, wiping data on smartphones should not be confused with merely factory resetting the device. Mobile devices used by businesses are a treasure trove for confidential information storing sensitive documents, emails, call logs, messages, etc. Wiping these devices before they are resold, donated, or disposed of, and having a proof of data destruction is a necessity for compliance purposes.
