## 💾 New! Data Recovery & Data Security Services

This month we're also introducing new RETPAIR services.
Have an old phone, laptop, or hard drive sitting in a drawer?
Before you recycle it, ask yourself:

• Are there photos or videos you still want?
• Important files?
• Old tax records?
• Passwords or personal information you don't want falling into the wrong hands?

Bring your devices and learn about:

• 💾 Data Recovery
• 🔒 Secure Data Wiping
• 💥 Physical Data Destruction
• 🔧 Repair
• ❤️ Donation & Reuse
• ♻️ Responsible Recycling

Whether you're bringing one device or an entire box, we'll help you determine the best next step.

The future of technology isn't just about creating the next device. It's about making smarter decisions with the ones we already own.
Come play, learn something new, meet great people, and maybe even rescue some important data along the way.
We'd love to have you join us.
