Data Disposal Day

Southern California Shredding will be on campus to shred both paper and e-waste products on October 26, 2022.

Properly disposing of e-waste is an important component of cybersecurity. Improper disposal, donation, or recycling of e-waste may inadvertently disclose sensitive information, which could be exploited by cyber criminals. Each of us is responsible for the security of information assets with which we work. 

Much like e-waste, keeping paper records with sensitive information that no longer need to be maintained under the UC Records Retention Schedule is both a security and privacy risk. Good document hygiene includes shredding unnecessary paper and deleting e-records in a way that is consistent with the UC University Records Management Program (BFB-RMP-1) and the UC Records Retention Schedule.
