Data is automatically deleted from devices traded in through BuyBack once they’ve been received by the refurbisher. You don’t have to worry about your information ending up in the wrong hands.
Before sending your device, you can also delete the data yourself:
- On iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase content and settings
- On Android: Go to Settings > Backup & Reset > Reset all data
Your phone will then be refurbished and prepared to start a whole new life with someone else. If it’s in poor condition, it will be stripped for parts and then properly recycled.
