Shredders offer a cost-effective, convenient way to dispose of ribbons containing personal and confidential images and photographs.

GDPR is no doubt a complex and multi-layered topic. But, to put it quite simply, GDPR states: If you collect somebody’s personal information you must process it fairly and lawfully.

So, how is this applicable to printer ribbons and why do I need a printer ribbon shredder? A used printer ribbon displays an imprint of each previously printed ID card. With many ribbons printing up to 500 cards, that’s a lot of personal data. GDPR dictates that all sensitive information must now be disposed off securely. A ribbon shredder is the easiest and most secure way to do so.

Under the new regime, businesses can face very severe fines for non-compliance –

At the lower level a fine of €10 million or 2% of annual turnover may be imposed

At the highest level a fine not exceeding €20 million or 4% of annual turnover may be imposed.

As you can see, adhering to the rules is a an absolute must with GDPR – A shredding machine is a very small price to pay when faced with the alternative. [/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
