How to Protect Your Data During Computer Repairs

Introduction

We take data privacy seriously at SnapFix Repairs, but not every shop does. Here’s how you can protect your files before any repair.


1. Back Up Your Data

Use an external drive or secure cloud storage. This ensures you still have your files if anything goes wrong.


2. Remove Sensitive Information

Temporarily move private files to secure storage — things like financial documents or personal photos.


3. Log Out of Accounts

Sign out of email, social media, and cloud accounts for extra security.


4. Encrypt Your Drive

If you know how, encrypt your hard drive so even if someone accessed it, they couldn’t read your data.


Why Choose SnapFix Repairs

We treat customer data with confidentiality and never access personal files unless it’s part of the agreed work.
