Evaluation guidelines

Our employees grade the condition and perform a functionality check. At a minimum, in order for us to accept a device, it must turn on and function as a user would normally expect. There can’t be missing power supplies, and a battery powered device must run on its own battery. We assign a condition grade based upon our inspection:

Condition Grades:

Perfect.
The device is fully functional with no technical problems and has no scratches, dents or dings. Shows signs of normal use.

Good.
The device is fully functional with no technical problems, and only a few scratches due to normal use. If the device has a screen, there are no scratches or burned-out pixels. Moderate physical damage and fully functional.

Average.
Significant physical damage or does not function properly.

Worn-out.
There is an issue with the device so that the device is not eligible for trade-in, including but not limited to the following:

  • It has functional damage or product failure that affects its ability to perform its function or impairs its use;
  • It has been recalled or withdrawn from sale;
  • It has water damage or damage from other fluids;
  • It shows indications of a serial number modification or tampering;
  • It has insect/rodent infestation/damage;
  • The factory seal has been broken;
  • A password has not been cleared;
  • The device is still attached to an active account (mobile phones only);
  • The “Find My Device” function has not been disabled.

RECYCLE.
Eligible device does not have any monetary value but will be collected and sent to a recycling partner that complies with the highest industry standards regarding the reuse, refurbishment or recycling of products as well as waste disposal generated from the recycling process.

If the device is not accepted for trade-in, we can responsibly recycle it. To learn more about our Recycling Program, see pcdreams.com/Recycle.

Privacy & Protection

How about the data stored on my device, how can you ensure that is properly removed from my devices?

Apply to all IT gadgets.
The current PDPA regulation requires any data still left in any device to be completely erased. You can be rest assured that none of your important information will be left in your device as we comply to industrial standard with our ISO 27001 Certified data erasure processes.

What will happen to the data in my memory card?
Similarly to the IT gadgets, we will erased the data according to our ISO 27001 process.
Memory cards will not be returned unless specifically requested by customers.

Do you guys help for backing my data?
We suggest ensuring that all personal data is backed up beforehand. Once the devices are received, there will be no turning back to retrieve personal data.

Why do you collect personal information and what do you do with it?
The PC Dreams Trade-In Program is subject to secondhand dealer laws, which regulate the buying of used personal property. Many of these laws require businesses to collect information about the seller and the purchased product, and report it to law enforcement in an effort to reduce crime and recover stolen property. In some locations, to comply with applicable law, the personal information collected may include:

  • Full Name
  • NRIC/Work Pass No.
  • Residential Address
  • Contact Number

PC Dreams also reports certain information about trade-in transactions voluntarily in other locations. Additionally, PC Dreams may be required to share personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. PC Dreams reserves the right to report, and may be required to report, to law enforcement agencies any activities that PC Dreams believes to be unlawful. PC Dreams may share certain information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property and safety of others and ourselves.
