Transforming life chances in Africa with technology
Camara Education partners with leading ITAD companies worldwide to offer you an IT collection service certified to the highest international standards.
Some of the world’s best-known companies – Dell, Virgin, PwC – use Camara to provide a more sustainable and ethical solution for their end-of-life computers.
By choosing us as your ITAD partner, you contribute towards building computer labs and installing refurbished computers in African schools, and training teachers and providing learning materials to get the most out of them.
Camara’s processes are fully compliant with all EU, UK and US GDPR and WEEE regulations. All assets are either data-wiped or shredded to internationally accredited standards and are scanned and tracked via secure tracking systems. Our ITAD partners’ accreditations include ISO 27001.
Our partners use the latest Blancco erasure systems to wipe each drive three times before certifying it 100% erased. Disks or drives that cannot be successfully wiped for any reason – or on request – are shredded. We can also offer on-site erasure or destruction services.
Once your data has been erased or destroyed, you will receive a Certificate of Erasure or Destruction as well as a full audit – giving you peace of mind that you have complied with your obligations under data privacy regulations.
Once you have informed us you require a collection, we will email over a works form. Basic details include quantities, specs and model plus site security access and special instructions.
Using secure transport, we will collect your equipment, often within 48 hours of confirmation. Our ITAD partners will liaise directly with you to arrange a date and time.
At our partners’ facilities the equipment is erased using Blancco or physically destroyed to ensure no data can be recovered. Our ITAD Partners are fully compliant with all EU and UK GDPR and WEEE regulations. Other special requirements – such as on-site erasure – can also be catered for.
You receive a full audit of the equipment, plus data erasure certificates for every relevant item.
Working with Camara is also tax efficient: we confirm the value of the equipment donated to us, which your organisation can usually claim as a charitable donation.
