POSDATA's e-Waste Services
PCI-Compliance Can Be Clean, Green and Provide a Revenue Stream

e-waste awaiting disposalDid you know that on older (non-PCI certified) payment devices that there is secure cardholder information that is retained in the terminal? Part of the PCI requirements for terminal manufacturers is that they develop terminals that will not store any card data in the terminal.

Additionally, on these older terminals, key information is not destroyed when the terminal is unplugged for replacement. This can put your merchants in a potentially liable position when they replace their older terminals with new PCI compliant devices and do not dispose of the old units properly.

POSDATA offers a program that helps you keep your merchants safe. E-Waste from POSDATA provides your merchant with secure and environmentally safe disposal of their old equipment.

Our technicians ensure that all terminal devices on your merchant's inventory list are received. We provide a report of all discrepancies encountered. Each device is disassembled and critical internal components are destroyed. All applications, customer information and security keys are permanently disabled. The device components -- including any hazardous materials contained in the circuitry -- then are recycled properly.

At the end of the process, your merchant receives a comprehensive report that lists all items that were disposed, and a Certificate of Recycling.

POSDATA will discount this service to our reseller partners so that you can maintain your relationship with your merchant with us in the background. Not only can you keep your merchants safe and informed, but our program provides you with another revenue opportunity in these hard economic times.
