What Security Measures Does GeekTek.uk Implement?

-
Data Protection: We understand the sensitive nature of the data stored on your devices. We employ robust security protocols to ensure your data remains private and confidential throughout the repair process.

We never access or share your personal data unless absolutely necessary for the repair and only with your explicit consent.

-
Secure Handling Procedures: We meticulously handle each device with care, using anti-static equipment to prevent damage and employing secure packaging to prevent damage during transit.
What Happens to My Data During Repair?
This is a common concern, and we prioritize transparency. Unless specifically requested by you as part of a data recovery or transfer service, we do not access the data on your devices. Our repair processes focus solely on the technical aspects of the repair itself. Should data access be necessary for diagnostics, we will always obtain your explicit consent beforehand. When data erasure is required, we use secure methods compliant with industry best practices to ensure complete and irreversible data deletion.

We utilize advanced diagnostic tools and only employ qualified technicians with extensive experience in repairing various devices. This expertise minimizes the risk of further damage during the repair process. Our rigorous quality control checks ensure that every repair is completed to the highest standards, minimizing the likelihood of future problems.
Does GeekTek.uk Offer Insurance or Guarantees?
We offer a comprehensive warranty on all our repairs, offering reassurance and peace of mind. While we strive for perfection, unforeseen circumstances can occur. Our warranty protects you against defects arising from our repair services, providing an additional layer of security for your investment. (Specific warranty details are available on our website).
What Safety Precautions Should I Take Before Sending My Device?
Before sending your device, we recommend backing up your crucial data to an external source. While we prioritize data security, unexpected events can always occur. This precaution helps mitigate any potential data loss. Also, ensure you remove any sensitive personal information you are uncomfortable with us handling.
GeekTek.uk’s commitment to safety is unwavering. Our dedication to secure practices and transparent communication ensures your devices and data are handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
