Q: Do you purchase more than computers?
A: Yes, we purchase electronics in general. It is just that we specialize in laptops and desktops. I have seen several LCD televisions, a shelf of LCD projectors, uninterrruptible power supplies, and from time to time audio equipment since I have been with the company. Q: How do you handle Hard Drive data?
A: Optimally, we would like to delete the original partitions and then proceed to reformat the drive since it will hinder most of the new owners from recovering the data and is the fastest method we use. However, we do offer a more thorough solution that includes department of defense grade data destruction for a reasonable fee that varies with the time it takes to do a proper 'wipe'. We also contract with a third party that will physically shred your hard drive into metal confetti. This is our most expensive option. We can do it less expensively because we usually are already disassembling the machines anyway and we get a bulk discount on the shredding service. That saves you money on labor and the actual shredding service. Q: How secure is your site?
A: We employ standard system security. I only ask for a list of items you would like to unload and your contact information-- which should be of lower confidentiality. The form and e-mail in general are not encrypted, so please be aware of the information you are sending unprotected over the net. We also limit the time the data stays on the server by offloading and deleting the database at regular intervals several times monthly. That way even if someone were to 'get root' there would be very little to find even with unrestricted access. Q: What is your privacy policy?
A: I will never use your information for anything other than to forward to PC Parts Unlimited. At that time your information will be used to facilitate contract negotiations. Any other parties will never have your information intentionally. I will notify you in the event there is a breach of security that affects your contact information.
