contract-law privacy non-disclosure
Leaving company and wiping personal data
<p>I am new here please help and answer my question.<br>
In case you are leaving the company, you worked for, if you wipe your personal data such an email you logged on or data like the logs of the websites you visited from the PC, Laptop or cellphone that owned by the company have you violate the law?<br>
<strong>The second question is</strong>: I would like to say that the reference to the prohibition of the personal use of the assets of the company in the NDA contract not in a separate contract, can this issue violate authenticity of this clause?<br>
<strong>PS:</strong> the reasons for wiping that is because that company can not abuse data.<br>
<strong>PS:</strong> In the NDA there is a paragraph that says you can not use company properties for a personal issue.  </p>

<p>If the data is on a company owned computer it’s their data - not yours. If you delete data you don’t own without authority then that’s illegal in most jurisdictions.</p>

<p>Before you leave you are clearly authorised to use the device so if you are authorised to delete it depends on the data. For example, you can probably delete personal communications but probably not business ones.</p>

<p>Notwithstanding, the company is bound by relevant privacy laws if the data is personal so it cannot be (legitimately) abused.</p>
