WARNING! Sending Your Smartphone for Warranty Repair Will Cost You Your Data.
Most of us will sooner or later be forced to send our smartphone, tablet, or laptop for warranty repair.
However, few people realize that sending their device to an authorized service center will result in losing all stored data (videos, photos, contacts, etc.).
Why Do Service Centers Delete Data?
- Customer privacy protection
- Data protection regulations
- Need to reset the device to factory settings to identify and fix the problem
How to Protect Your Data Before Sending for Warranty?
Backup
If your device boots and you have data access, make a copy.
Cloud
Cloud storage automates the data protection process. For iPhone - iCloud, for Android - Google Drive, Samsung Cloud, etc.
Professional Services
Using professional data backup services is the most reliable option.
Summary
We receive hundreds of inquiries per year about whether we can recover data after formatting or after a warranty service visit. For smartphones, the answer is always NO.
You will find the service details on our data recovery page, and approximate prices in the price list.
