Quick Tips

• Treat your offboarded wearable with the same caution as you would a work laptop or smartphone. If not properly wiped and delinked, the next owner could gain access to your personally identifiable or company information.  

• If a wearable that you are retiring was connected to work-related information or apps, it is always a good idea to coordinate with your IT provider to ensure that the device is properly retired.
