9.12. Data Deletion

All device implementations:

  • [C-0-1] MUST provide users a mechanism to perform a “Factory Data Reset”.
  • [C-0-2] MUST delete all user-generated data. That is, all data except for the following:
    • The system image
    • Any operating system files required by the system image
  • [C-0-3] MUST delete the data in such a way that will satisfy relevant industry standards such as NIST SP800-88.
  • [C-0-4] MUST trigger the above “Factory Data Reset” process when the DevicePolicyManager.wipeData() API is called by the primary user's Device Policy Controller app.
  • MAY provide a fast data wipe option that conducts only a logical data erase.
