Re: Donating to Camara

Hi all,

> It probably comes down to liability.

I sent in an email enquiry re. donating machines - this is what I received =
back:

Thank you for considering Camara Education for the reuse of your IT
equipment. Our intention is that your IT equipment will be refurbished
to improve the education of children from disadvantaged communities in
Africa & Ireland.

We have recently partnered up with AMI, Irelands leading ITAD company
to provide our donors with a secure =E2=80=9Cend to end=E2=80=9D chain of c=
ustody and
GDPR compliant process - covering logistics, data erasure and
equipment refurbishment.

Each data-bearing asset we receive is erased using licensed Blancco
software which ensures that no sensitive data can be recovered. If the
erasure process fails, the hard drive is removed and shredded. You
will be issued data erasure certification listing the make, model and
serial number of each computer, ensuring you are fully GDPR compliant.

We accept all IT equipment, like computers, monitores, laptops, mice,
keyboards, tablets etc.

We do ask the donating organisation to cover the cost of collection
and equipment processing so would you be able to send me a list of
equipment so I can issue you a quote?

I'm not mad keen on the "quote" bit and that certainly wasn't the case
when I was last on the premises some time ago (> 5 years).

I'm going to email them back and ask if I can sign a waiver for any
machines that I give to them if I bring them in myself. I can
understand that a business that wishes guaranteed safe disposal of
their asset might be willing to stump up money to safely get shot of
this data burden, but what about Se=C3=A1n Citizen? I can run DBAN myself!

The times they are a' changing!
