Your data is safe with us

  • At Free Geek of Arkansas, we take care to ensure the safety of your data-containing devices.

  • Our data security promise extends to desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and all other data-containing devices.

Our Process

  • When you donate data-bearing devices, they are routed directly to our staff only secure data area, which remains locked at all times.

  • All storage devices wiped clean according to The National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) SP800-88 data sanitization standards. Any device that meets our reuse specifications are then distributed accordingly.

  • If you would like to wipe the device yourself before donating to Free Geek, we recommend using a program like DBAN.

Get Proof of Destruction

  • Free Geek of Arkansas can provide donors with an itemized Certificate of Data Destruction.

  • This is a perfect option for donors who specifically require documentation of data erasure and destruction.

  • Please contact us prior to making a donation by phone or email if you desire a Certificate of Data Destruction.

  • Please keep in mind that this service is free of charge, but donations are always appreciated.
