A Guide to Protecting your Information
We are committed to ensuring the privacy and security of your personal data. This data privacy policy outlines the procedure of our Authorized Service Centers when assisting customers with mobile repairs. We understand the importance of protecting your information and provide you with the necessary information regarding the steps we take to protect your data.
FOR PHONES WITH A WORKING DISPLAY
- All Flagship models (S Series, Fold, Flip, and Note Series), A Series, and Tablets that are Android 13 & above
Step 1. Preparing for repair
Before initiating any repairs, we advise you to activate Maintenance Mode on your device. In this mode, your personal data including pictures, messages, and accounts, remains inaccessible during the repair process and only preinstalled apps are available. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your personal data while allowing our engineers to perform necessary repairs.
To learn how to activate it, you can visit 'How to set up Maintenance Mode'. If you require further assistance, our customer specialists are available to walk you through the process.
Step 2. Turning over the device for repair
As part of our commitment to your privacy, our customer specialists will show you that they can't access any files other than the ones directly related to the repair. This way, you can trust that your data remains private and cannot be accessed by anyone else. Feel free to ask them to show you how the device restricts access and keeps your data secure.
2. For models without Maintenance Mode
Step 1. Backup your phone
Before seeking any technical assistance, we strongly recommend backing up your phone's data. This will help protect your information in case any data is lost during the repair process. To learn how to back up your phone, you can find detailed instructions here.
Step 2. Factory Reset your device
Alongside backing up your phone, we advise you to perform a Factory Reset as well. This step ensures that any personal information or sensitive data is removed from the device before it reaches our engineers.
Please note that for security reasons, we will only accept devices that have been factory reset.
FOR PHONES WITH NO POWER OR DISPLAY
In case your device has no power or display, it might be necessary for our technicians to perform diagnostics and repairs that could result in data loss. To proceed, we will request you to sign a waiver acknowledging the possibility of data loss.
