We care about your privacy and security. Every device that arrives at our doorstep will get the same treatment. All devices are reset to their original factory settings - assuring you that no one will ever be able to access any information still on your phone or tablet. But you can also help us out by resetting the devices BEFORE you send them in. Here’s how you do it:
