Nuke My Phone protects your privacy by secure deleting your personal data,
such a photos and videos, and returning your phone to factory settings. Now
you can safely repurpose old devices or upgrade your current one without
worrying about unauthorized data recovery. Nuke My Phone delivers the peace of
mind that comes only from knowing your personal data cannot be compromised.

ABOUT THE APP

Following National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines,
Nuke My Phone sanitizes your internal SD card, where Android phones typically
save pictures, downloads, documents, and other such personal data. Then, we
eliminate the guesswork by prompting you to initiate the factory reset. All it
takes is five easy steps:

1. Download Nuke My Phone.

2. Start nuking.

3. Wait.

4. Begin prompted factory reset.

5. Remove external SD card, if your device has one, before recycling or trade-
in.

Once you’ve completed the nuking process, your data is virtually
unrecoverable.

Nuke My Phone doesn’t eradicate data from your external SD card, but that’s
okay because reusing your SD card in your new device will save you money! If
your device has an external SD card, make sure to remove it before recycling
or trade-in.

Note: Because some devices, specifically old ones, can take up to several
hours for the nuking process, we recommend plugging in your phone before you
start.

ABOUT ANDROID

Some Android phones have both internal and external SD card storage
capabilities, but apps have limited access to external SD cards. Nuke My Phone
secure deletes only your internal SD card, so make sure you remove your
external SD card after performing the factory reset.

The Android market is highly fragmented; as a result, we test on a wide
sampling of devices to ensure our apps are optimized for your needs. If you
think of a way we could improve the user experience, please email us at
