LGPD and e-disposal: the risks of corporate data leaks

The General Data Protection Law (LGPD) has brought to light the importance of proper handling of personal information, especially in electronic disposal. Equipment disposed of without due care can result in corporate data leaks, exposing sensitive information and causing legal and financial damage.

What the LGPD says about data disposal

The LGPD establishes strict rules on the collection, storage, use and disposal of personal data. The disposal of electronic devices that store this data must ensure that the information is irrecoverable, preventing leaks and guaranteeing privacy.

Risks of disposing of electronic devices improperly

Disposing of electronic devices without properly erasing the data can expose confidential information, such as financial, personal and strategic data. These leaks can result in fines, reputational damage and financial losses due to fraud or misuse of the information.

Good practices for the safe disposal of equipment

To avoid risks related to disposal, it is recommended to adopt processes for the physical destruction of devices, use reliable software to erase data and carry out periodic audits. In addition, it is essential to hire specialized services that follow environmental and information security standards.

Benefits of an e-disposal policy in line with the LGPD

An effective e-disposal policy not only minimizes the risks of leakage, but also strengthens reliability with clients and partners, avoiding legal sanctions and promoting sustainability by ensuring the proper treatment of e-waste.

Conclusion

Understanding the risks and adopting safe practices in electronic disposal is fundamental to complying with the LGPD and protecting corporate data. With the right measures, leaks, fines and reputational damage can be avoided, ensuring the integrity of information and respect for privacy.
