Why Evergreen Data Harbor?

There's a lot of trust involved in handing over someone's devices.

We built EDH around that fact. Not as a marketing statement — as an operating principle. Here's what that actually looks like.

The honest comparison

What you get with EDH vs. the alternatives.

Evergreen Data Harbor

Written certificate of destructionEvery device gets documented. You have a paper trail for the estate file.
Genuine data clearing — not a factory resetWe wipe to data destruction standards. A factory reset leaves data recoverable.
A real person to talk toYou call us, we answer. No tickets, no queues, no scripted responses.
Estate-focused, not tech-focusedWe understand that estate timelines are complicated and emotionally loaded. We work around yours.
Nothing retained without your consentWe don't copy, store, or share anything we handle. What we recover goes to you.

Typical alternatives

Big-box tech retailersVolume-focused. No estate context, no documentation, often just a factory reset.
"Just factory reset it"Common advice. Unfortunately, factory resets don't remove data — they remove the index. The data itself remains.
Leaving it for the next buyerDevices sold or donated without clearing are a liability — for the estate and for whoever receives them.
National data destruction servicesBuilt for corporate IT. Minimum volumes, impersonal process, no concept of family context.
Doing nothingData doesn't disappear on its own. Uncleared devices are an ongoing privacy and liability risk.

What we stand for

Four things we won't compromise on.

01

Discretion

Personal data is personal. We don't read, copy, or discuss what we find on the devices we handle. What we recover goes directly to you. What we destroy is gone — fully and permanently.

02

Documentation

Every device we touch gets a written record. What it was, what we did, and the outcome. That documentation protects you, the estate, and anyone involved in administering it.

03

Honesty

If we can't do something, we'll tell you. If something changes the scope or the price, you'll hear it before it affects the bill. We'd rather lose a job than mislead a family in a difficult situation.

04

Local accountability

We're based in Spokane. Our reputation is local. We're not insulated by size or geography — if we do poor work, the community knows. That's exactly the kind of accountability we think you deserve.

"Personal data deserves the same care you gave it when you were alive."

That line is the reason EDH exists. When someone passes away, their devices don't just contain files — they contain a life. Banking history, passwords, private conversations, decades of photographs, medical records.

Handling that carelessly isn't just a technical failure. It's a failure of respect. We started EDH because we believe the families and professionals navigating estate situations deserve a service that takes that seriously.

Who we're not for

We're a poor fit for some clients — and that's intentional.

EDH is built around estates, families, and the professionals who serve them. We're not set up for corporate IT disposal, bulk enterprise contracts, or clients who need the absolute lowest price over everything else.

  • Corporate IT asset disposal at scale
  • Enterprise data center decommissioning
  • Clients who need NIST 800-88 or DoD-level certification
  • Price-first decisions with no documentation requirement

If that's you, we'll say so

"We'd rather tell you we're not the right fit than take your money and do the job poorly."

If what you need falls outside what we do well, we'll say so honestly and point you in a better direction. That's the kind of business we want to be.
