Disposing of Data Storage Devices

Please note that deleting images or formatting memory cards or other data storage devices does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using com- mercially available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of per- sonal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s responsibility.

Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images containing no private infor- mation (for example, pictures of empty sky). Care should be taken to avoid injury when physically destroying data storage devices.
