Our Data Security Framework
Four Pillars of Privacy Protection
Every device that enters Gadget Medics is protected by these four safeguards.
Background-Checked Technicians
Every technician at Gadget Medics undergoes a thorough background check before handling customer devices. We hire experienced professionals who understand that your trust is earned through responsible behavior, not just technical skill.
Minimal-Access Policy
Our technicians access only what is necessary to complete your repair. For hardware jobs like screen replacements and battery swaps, we never need your passcode. When software access is required, we only open diagnostic tools and settings apps.
Monitored Workstations
Our repair areas are equipped with security cameras. No personal USB drives, external storage, or unauthorized devices are allowed at workstations. This physical security layer ensures accountability and transparency throughout the repair process.
NDA Agreements Available
For business clients, law firms, medical practices, and professionals handling sensitive data, we offer formal Non-Disclosure Agreements upon request. Our GadgetMSP managed IT service includes NDA coverage by default.
Transparency
What Happens to Your Data During Repair
Different repairs require different levels of device access. Here is exactly what to expect.

No passcode needed
Data untouched
Your files, photos, and apps remain completely untouched. We work only on the physical hardware layer.

Settings access only
We access only system settings and diagnostic tools. Personal files, photos, and messages are not opened or viewed.
Data Recovery

Recovery requires reading storage contents. We recover only what you request, transfer it to your media, and securely delete our working copies.
Before Your Visit
How to Prepare Your Device for Repair
These simple steps give you extra peace of mind. Our technicians at either Boca Raton location can also walk you through this at drop-off.
1
Back Up Your Data
Use iCloud, Google Drive, or connect to a computer. This protects your files regardless of what happens during any repair.
2
Enable Maintenance Mode (Samsung) or Set a Temporary Passcode
Samsung devices have a built-in Maintenance Mode that hides all personal data during repair. For iPhones, consider setting a temporary numeric passcode that you change after pickup.
3
Log Out of Banking and Sensitive Apps
Sign out of banking, health, and financial apps before dropping off. Most stay logged in even when the phone is locked.
4
Note Your Device Details
Write down your serial number and IMEI (found in Settings). This helps verify the device you receive back is yours.
5
Ask Us Any Questions at Drop-Off
Our team at Gadget Medics is happy to explain exactly what access is needed for your specific repair. No question is too cautious.
