Since technologies became a very important part of human life we started to think about our digital and personal data safety in The Web. Data is used, sent, received and backed up (if you don’t forget that) every moment of every day. But sometimes data gets lost, users start to look for a way to get it back and find a recovery software or a recovery lab. When data loss happens all of a sudden, when we don’t expect it at all sometimes panic rules our mind and we don’t even have a single thought about our data safety and protection from external impact. But yet there still is a question whether a data recovery software we choose safe for our personal files and information, whether it’s safe for our digital privacy.

The general answer is «YES, it’s safe for personal information». A recovery software like ReclaiMe doesn’t collect your data, file and folder names and its content. It doesn’t keep or send it anywhere outside of your PC or file storage devices. ReclaiMe data recovery is read-only software and it doesn’t change your files.

But as usual, there are some nuances. The most obvious of all — don’t download any software from malicious or frankly suspicious, scam websites. And don’t trust pirate resources that promise you free keys to software or suggest ways to hack software. Data recovery software developers have years of professional experience, so their original, many times tested and updated product is the best solution for your data: no viruses, no unnecessary glitch, no bad influence on your PC filesystem. Using pirated and hacked software might cause unpredictable consequences for your data.

If your file storage is mechanically damaged and you have to go to a data recovery lab please try to make sure it is trustworthy (read reviews, comments in social media or ask for advice in IT-chat) and they won’t copy or use your files and personal information in fraudulent purposes.

In conclusion, we would like to tell you: if your data storage isn’t physically damaged, try to recover your lost data by yourself using reliable software, like ReclaiMe and DIY articles, videos.
