Whether you are gifting, selling or simply throwing an old device away, it has the digital footprints of your life contained within it. Maybe you are upgrading to the latest and greatest, or perhaps it is simply too old and slow. So what happens when one of these devices reaches the end of it’s life. All of our digital assets as well as our real world ones are managed and controlled through the devices we surround ourselves with. Everything can be done from the comfort of an armchair. Online banking and finance are so common place today that many of us never visit the branch. This includes the current pages you are visiting as well as passwords and other private information.

To make life easier when switching between devices your web browser will often sync your activities between devices. Many of us spend hours on the web every week for work and play. Do you sync files and photos with cloud services like Dropbox, WhatsApp, OneDrive or iCloud? What about your mobile phone, does it sync to your computer sending photos, passwords and more?

A laptop or PC can hold all sorts of personal data that you know of, but there is also data that you never think about. It has become harder to know where our data is stored. In the digital age our data has become more valuable than ever.
