Meet your Data Protection Act obligations – shred it with our confidential shredding services and put an end to all your security shredding worries.
Who is affected by the 1998 Data Protection Act? We all are and we have been since March 2000. However, many company directors and business owners do not realise that they can be fined or even sent to prison if they fail to comply.
Bettershred's confidential shredding services can help you meet your statutory obligations – and put your mind at rest. Find out more by emailing info@bettershred.co.uk or calling us now on 01280 860011.
Our quick checklist is designed to introduce you to the key points of the Act and we are pleased to help all our clients match the standards set down by this legislation.

Create a Data Controller – a member of staff responsible, among other things, for selecting a reputable data processor in order to facilitate the destruction of obsolete personal data held by the company. Our clients feel confident using Bettershred's security shredding service to destroy obsolete data.
