Security & Chain of Custody

You are shipping us the only copy of things that matter. Here is exactly what happens to your drive, who touches it, and what never happens to your data - in writing.

  1. 1

    Logged on arrival

    Every drive is photographed and logged with a unique case number, serial, model, and condition the moment it arrives. You get the case number; the log follows the drive through the lab.

  2. 2

    One technician, start to finish

    Only your assigned technician handles your device. No shared workstations, no handoffs between benches, no exceptions.

  3. 3

    Write-blocked, image-first

    Nothing is ever written to your original drive. We create a sector-level image using write-blocking hardware, and every recovery operation happens against that image, not your media.

  4. 4

    We never open your files

    Recovery integrity is verified through checksums and file-structure validation only. Your photos, documents, and messages are never viewed by anyone.

  5. 5

    Insured both directions

    Mail-in cases ship on a prepaid, insured label inbound, and your recovered data returns on new media with insured shipping. Tracking on both legs.

  6. 6

    Purged after confirmation

    Once you confirm your data arrived intact, every working copy in the lab is purged. Your original drive is returned to you or securely destroyed, per your written instruction.

The plain-English commitments

  • A real lab in Lincroft, New Jersey. Your device is never outsourced, brokered, or forwarded to a third party.
  • Flat $100 diagnostic, applied toward your recovery. Firm quote before any work begins. No data, no charge.
  • A free phone consult before you ship anything, so you know whether shipping even makes sense.
  • Questions about our process? Ask for specifics on the phone: 732-933-7717. We answer them.
