Gwangju Gwangsan-gu "We Safely Destroy Digital Storage Media for You"

Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it will implement a ‘Digital Storage Media Destruction Service’ to strengthen the protection of citizens' personal information.

This newly introduced service by Gwangsan-gu comes in response to frequent personal information leakage incidents, such as the discovery of hundreds of citizens' personal data on hard drives sold secondhand recently.

To protect citizens from personal information leakage and identity theft, Gwangsan-gu will physically and completely destroy digital storage media containing sensitive information, such as hard drives, smartphones, and USB devices, using shredding equipment owned by the district.

The service is available to residents of Gwangsan-gu, as well as local businesses, schools, and small business owners in the area. Reservations can be made by phone or in person at the Gwangsan-gu Data Information Division.

Applicants can directly verify the destruction process.

A Gwangsan-gu official stated, “The risk of corporate secrets or personal information leakage is increasing day by day,” and added, “We hope the Digital Storage Media Destruction Service will help citizens manage their personal information safely.”
