Why shred whole pages of documents just to protect some small pieces of sensitive data? Think about it: You get a bill, or a credit card offer in the mail ... it may have your name, address, and some other small bits of personally identifiable information - but most of it is meaningless and presents
no threat of identify theft.
The SIS contains an OCR scanner to recognize PII or other programmed "sensitive" information. It then uses a series of tiny needles and blades to punch out and shred just those areas of the paper. The overall volume to shredded bits will be small (relative to an entire sheet of shredded paper). You can put all of it in the trash or recycling bin more easily than handling a full bin or bag of chaff.
Intended for home and personal use. Not intended for business or government use, removing classification markings, or any document disposal where more than 10% of the page area needs to be destroyed.

Inspired by true life, watching my wife carefully cut up credit card offers to remove just our names and mailing address before binning the rest of the paper. |

Does no one just use this stuff as kindling for a garden bonfire with beer and sausages and stir the ash into the compost heap next day any more? |
|

We get too much junk mail to burn all of it. And much of it printed on weird glossy paper that smells bad when burnt. But the Sorting Output Shredder (linked) would mitigate that at least a little bit - the clean burning stuff would go into its own bin |
|
| |
Ah well, you've been doing it wrong. |
|
| |
You sit upwind so the smoke goes the other way, how it smells won't bother you so much then. |

If you can get a day when the neighbour in the direction the wind's going have hung their washing out is perfect if you want added bonus points, but it's not a deal breaker if you can't get that, not if the sausages are good. |

Suspend your sensitive paperwork outside in this easy-to-use weather-resistant frame. Then either use the sensitive bits of data for target practice with, for example, an air rifle, or paint the sensitive bits of data with our bird-seed mix and watch birds peck it away. |
|
| |
Yes! Target practice is just punching holes in paper, perfect application! |

Why not shoot two birds with one bullet? |

I prefer poisoning pigeons in the park. |

Fixed, thanks. Would you believe I left that in there just to confirm that HB doesn't have an inline spell-checker? |
|

I thought it was a great word - should have left it in place. |

I'll try to use it elsewhere, but in this case it was just a misspelling of what I meant. Web searches suggests some clothing makers use it intentionally to convey a sense of both distressed and destroyed - to describe "trendy, looks beat up even when new" wares. |
