    Im hoping to do a good few phone repairs over summer as a bit of money earning. What is the law with phone repair. I read somewhere that in a business employees aren't allowed to bring the devices home to repair them because they could possibly copy the data on them. I will be working from home though as it is the only place available to me. Can someone shed some light on this ? Thanks

    (Sorry if this is the wrong place to post it!)

    Might be individual companies regulation rather than an actual law.

    It's pretty simple.

    Get them to back up and restore the phone to factory settings before sending phone off for repair. Who would send a phone off without doing that?

    I'm pretty sure it was 1982 :confused:
    Though it was very in depth so you in could be right.

    Don't attempt a repair whilst in control of a mechanically propelled vehicle. This applies to all days of the week.
