Worried about your privacy during a computer repair? Learn how Good As New in Southampton keeps your data safe with strict in-house security and GDPR compliance.

When you hand over your laptop or PC for repair, you’re not just trusting someone with your hardware — you’re trusting them with your personal and sometimes sensitive data. At Good As New Computer Repair Specialists in Southampton, data privacy and security are at the heart of everything we do.

Here’s exactly how we keep your information safe:

🧠 1. Your Data Never Leaves Our Workshop

All repairs are carried out in-house at our Southampton repair centre — we never send devices away to third-party service depots. This means your computer and your data remain under our direct supervision from start to finish.

🔐 2. Strict Data Privacy Policy

We operate under a clear data protection policy that follows UK GDPR guidelines.
That means:

• We will never access your personal files unless you ask us to (e.g., during data recovery).
• We will never copy, move, or share your data without your explicit permission.
• Your login credentials and personal information are treated as strictly confidential.

🧰 3. Secure Work Environment

Our workshop computers are isolated from customer devices, and all repairs are performed on secure, password-protected systems. Any removable drives or data storage devices are labelled, logged, and returned directly to you.

🧾 4. Optional Data Backup Service

Before beginning a major repair (like operating system reinstallation or hard drive replacement), we offer an optional data backup service.
We’ll copy your important files to a secure, encrypted drive and restore them safely once the repair is complete — giving you total peace of mind.

🧑‍🔧 5. Trusted Local Technicians

Unlike large chains where multiple anonymous employees might handle your device, at Good As New, your computer is handled by qualified local technicians who are accountable, experienced, and care about their reputation in the Southampton community.

🏁 In Summary

Your data security matters just as much as fixing your device.
At Good As New Computer Repair Specialists, we ensure:
✅ No data leaves our Southampton workshop
✅ No files are accessed without permission
✅ All repairs follow GDPR-compliant data protection standards

If you’re ever unsure about data safety during a repair, ask your technician how they handle customer data — a trusted local business will always be transparent.
