We use:

We do not authorize these providers to use our submitted customer repair information for independent marketing on our behalf.
5. Customer Device Privacy
Customer devices may contain sensitive information, including photographs, messages, contacts, and personal files.
Discount Fix technicians will access personal information stored on a device only when reasonably necessary to perform an authorized repair or functional test.
We encourage customers to back up their devices and remove or secure sensitive information before repair.
Customers should never submit device passcodes, account passwords, payment card details, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive credentials through our public website forms.
If temporary device access is necessary, separate arrangements will be made using an appropriate method.
6. Information Sharing
We do not sell customers' personal information.
Customer information may be shared when reasonably necessary with:
- Service providers that help operate our website and business.
- Authorized technicians working on the requested service.
- Relevant service partners when necessary to fulfill an authorized repair.
- Legal or regulatory authorities when required by law.
We limit information sharing to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
7. Information Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical precautions to protect customer information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
These precautions include using secure website connections, controlling administrative access, and limiting access to customer information to legitimate business purposes.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
If a security incident occurs, we will take appropriate action and provide notifications when required by applicable law.
