Secure File Deletion

When files are deleted from the Marketplace platform, they are not simply unlinked or moved to a temporary trash location—they are permanently and securely removed using industry-standard disk wiping utilities. These tools go beyond standard deletion methods by overwriting the data multiple times, making it extremely difficult—if not impossible—for the data to be recovered, even with advanced forensic techniques.

This approach ensures compliance with data privacy regulations and organizational policies that require secure disposal of sensitive or personally identifiable information (PII). Whether the deletion is initiated manually by an administrator or automatically as part of a data retention policy, file removal is handled with the same level of rigor and security as other aspects of the platform’s data lifecycle management.
