Apricorn and Every Child Online join forces​​

​​

Leading manufacturer of software-free, 256-bit AES XTS hardware-encrypted USB data storage devices, Apricorn, proudly announces its official charity partnership with Every Child Online, a UK based charity dedicated to closing the digital divide by providing refurbished IT equipment to disadvantaged young people and families.
 
Every Child Online works to ensure no child is excluded from digital opportunity.  By securely sanitising and reusing IT equipment, they provide essential access to technology that supports education, creativity and connection.  Apricorn’s expertise in secure storage makes them a valuable advocate for this mission, offering practical advice on how individuals and organisations can responsibly wipe, protect and store sensitive data before donating devices for reuse.
 
“Partnering with Apricorn is a powerful way to combine our missions, protecting sensitive data and protecting young lives. Donating unwanted tech, when done securely, can ignite a spark in a child’s future, whether through education, creativity, or even a tech career.  With Apricorn’s support, we’re not only closing the digital divide, we’re setting a new standard for secure, responsible device reuse,” says Mike Tarbard, CEO and Co-Founder, Every Child Online.

“At Apricorn, security and social responsibility go hand in hand,” adds Jon Fielding, Managing Director, EMEA, Apricorn.  “We’re honoured to support Every Child Online’s incredible mission to ensure no child is left behind in today’s digital world.  Their work transforms donated technology into educational lifelines for young people who would otherwise go without.  However, individuals and organizations must understand the importance of securely wiping and storing sensitive data before donating devices.  That’s where Apricorn can help, empowering donors to protect their information while giving children the digital access they deserve.”
