Protecting the privacy of your data is very important, regardless of how you plan to dispose of your computer. Rethink provides access to a tool from Blancco that reliably erases your data beyond recoverability. Just be sure that you have completed all steps in preparation of your sale, donation or recycling before erasing your data because the tool will also erase your operating system, which may prevent you from being able to get all the details of the components on that system. More information is available here.
