Data Eraser - iShredder Android

iShredder™ – secure data eraser & file shredder for Android
Protect your personal and work data before you sell, trade in, repair, recycle or hand over your phone. iShredder securely overwrites photos, files, folders and empty space, making later recovery extremely difficult even with recovery apps or forensic tools.

WHY NORMAL DELETE ISN’T ENOUGH
Deleting a file on Android often removes its reference without immediately overwriting the storage area it occupied. Depending on the device, Android version and storage technology, residual data may remain. iShredder targets selected content and empty space for secure overwriting instead of merely removing files from view.

CERTIFIED, MILITARY-GRADE ERASURE
iShredder supports recognized methods such as DoD 5220.22-M, NIST SP 800-88, BSI TL-03423 and other international standards. Choose a quick one-pass wipe for routine tasks or a stricter multi-pass process for particularly sensitive information.

The Android app has been independently assessed and awarded DEKRA MASA L1 security certification under OWASP MASVS Level 1 requirements. iShredder also received the Fortress Cybersecurity Award 2025 for its data-erasure technology and app security.
