PrivAce Technologies retires IT for manufacturers across India: engineering workstations, ERP and MES servers, shop-floor and quality PCs, laptops and networking gear. Drives are wiped or destroyed with erasure reports or destruction certificates, multi-plant pickups are coordinated as one job, and working equipment is paid for before pickup.
What is at stake
Why disposal needs care here.
The most valuable data in a factory is often intellectual property: CAD models, process recipes, supplier pricing and quality records on engineering workstations and servers.
Large manufacturers usually count as bulk consumers under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, which means their e-waste must go only to a registered producer, refurbisher or recycler.
Rules that apply
The requirements behind a disposal policy.
Plain summaries with links to the source. Your legal and compliance teams decide how they apply to you.
E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022: Bulk consumers must hand e-waste only to a registered producer, refurbisher or recycler. In force since 1 April 2023.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022, controls 7.14 and 8.10: Control 7.14 covers secure disposal or reuse of equipment, and 8.10 covers deletion of information. Certified organisations need evidence for both.
Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025: Personal data on a retired device is still your responsibility. Failing to take reasonable security safeguards can attract a penalty of up to ₹250 crore. Most obligations apply from 13 May 2027.
