Securely wipe all your data from a computer with the RedKey USB Computer Data Erasing Device. If you’re going to sell, give away or recycle your computer, you need to make sure you wipe all the data. Often, data can still be retrieved after deletion. RedKey USB prevents anyone from accessing your personal data once you use it. To use RedKey USB, just plug it into a USB port and turn it on to start a wipe. In fact, that’s all you have to do since the device works automatically. The device is compatible with all PCs, including Macs, laptops, and desktops. Likewise, it works on devices with SSD drives. RedKey USB even works on PCs that are partially broken, missing keys or malfunctioning in some way.

Got it
Just want to say that i was following your project here on Kickstarter without placing a pledge until today. Your informations and answers to the persons which had any questions gave me some kind of convenience to ensure that you will deliver a good product!
Hope this will be funded!

It can not be used with phones. It will delete all data on any drive it detects. The product will have a warranty when released to market. The app is contained on the device itself so just insert to use. Hope this helps!
Sorry if these question was being answered.
1. Which drive will it delete? Am i able to select it or everything?
2. If everything, computer comes in a standard few application.. will those be deleted too?
3. Will there be any warranty for this?
4. Do we have to install any app to work along with this or just insert? Not really good with computer, just some of the things i need to know
Really love your project! I do have a question though, is there a way to protect your PC against a product like this? For instance, what if someone would buy your product and uses this to erase all data in an office or school environment from a malicious perspective? Seeing as all you require is the key and it will inject the target with the program in seconds.
Quick update - SSD drives will be supported by REDKEY.
Quick update - I've just added subtitles in most major languages to the Explainer Video. Also this will help with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Also am pleased to be making some progress with packaging sourcing / design.
Thanks for backing with £1 though - every little helps. REDKEY is not re-inventing the wheel here. I'm taking an existing concept, using creativity and improving upon it several fold. Can't say much fairer than that. If this process did not occur in everyday life, how would humanity progress? Kickstarter wouldn't exist if it were not for creativity. Look at the positive benefits maybe? The problems you imagine have been well considered already. This product is designed to circumvent them. It will be easy to use & will provide full support. All other products for
personal users, free or not - provide no support and this has left consumers vulnerable for too long. This product addresses that issue no matter what.
The fact is, using the traditional programs may seem straight forwards to the likes of you and I, but to most people it is simply beyond their expertise. REDKEY will require no technical wizardry to use, and this fact makes the secure low level format process accessible to a much wider audience than any other alternative both free or not. I've researched this deeply of course, in fact it is one of the things that motivated me to create the REDKEY in the first place. One of my objectives for this project in mind personally is simply that my Dad should be able to use it proficiently. He’s 75 and struggles with computers. If he could use the REDKEY then anyone can. Wouldn’t it be good if there were others like him who could benefit from this technology? Others like him who are currently unaware of the risks of not using it? As you can probably appreciate, as it stands – maybe 99% of people probably do not even perform a low level format on their computer in the first-place prior to disowning it - let alone a multiple pass shred with some random PRNG stream. Isn’t that worrying? Therefore the security level of this product is designed to be a reasonable balance between security and convenience. IE the all Zero Data flush will not take days to complete - unlike some of the higher and excessive settings on the free alternatives, and will not require any settings to be adjusted – which would be too technical for most users. Bringing a product to market like this of course incurs costs. The software alone reflects a great portion of the costs and this reflects the time and expertise of the software designers to develop the software. It takes time and they must be paid. It also reflects the Manufacturing costs, distribution costs and all these venture costs add up. The price of the REDKEY hence reflects these costs divided by the minimal amount of users required to break even. The value of the price is therefore subjective – to most people it represents great value. It is fit for purpose, does the job and you don’t need to be a computer expert to use it. There’s great value in that. No one is going to improve upon the current market without some form of investment and that’s what makes the REDKEY an ideal project for kickstarter. It’s not just about making a pledge and obtaining one of the first of a product ever made, it’s also effectively about being an investor, being able to see a product on the shelves in future and being able to say “I was a part of that. I made that happen”. Are you in?

This product is specifically designed to be easy to use - it works automatically so requires minimal technical knowledge. It will also include easy to follow instructions. It will have no shelf life, so yes you can use it as many times as you like on as many different computers as you like.
Cheers.
Jack.

Each service is Tracked and Signed for type service. Thank you, and further updates will follow as this develops. Gareth Owen 23/03/18 07:41 GMT
Perhaps there is an error? I order from all over the world frequently and never see shipping costs like that, especially for a small item. I would love to back this project if that could be remedied!
Thank you!
