Proper Disposal Methods. In general, proper disposal methods may include, but are not limited to: 1. For PII in paper records, shredding, burning, pulping, or pulverizing the records so that PII is rendered essentially unreadable, indecipherable, and otherwise cannot be reconstructed. 2. For PII on electronic media, clearing (using software or hardware products to overwrite media with non-sensitive data), purging (degaussing or exposing the media to a strong magnetic field in order to disrupt the recorded magnetic domains), or destroying the media (disintegration, pulverization, melting, incinerating, or shredding). 3. Other methods of disposal also may be appropriate, depending on the circumstances. Organizations are encouraged to consider the steps that other data professionals are taking to protect student privacy in connection with record disposal.
