Frequently asked questions
What is offsite data destruction?
Offsite data destruction is the process of securely removing your IT equipment from your London premises and destroying the data at a dedicated, access-controlled facility. It's the standard approach for regulated organisations because the destruction is performed on specialist equipment under CCTV, with a full audit trail.
Is offsite destruction GDPR compliant?
Yes. Provided you use a certified processor with a full chain of custody and certificate of destruction, offsite destruction meets UK GDPR requirements. Byebyte issues serial-numbered certificates and manifests for every collection.
How much does it cost in London?
Nothing. Our collection, data destruction and recycling service is completely free across London — funded by the responsible recovery of raw materials from the equipment we process.
