Motor City Free Geek takes your privacy very seriously.

Donor Information

Motor City Free Geek retains records about the donations we have received. We keep track of who has donated what, and when. We may use this information to contact you about upcoming events, or to encourage you to donate to us again. If this bothers you, you may donate to us anonymously. We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with any other organization or entity.

Donated Equipment

We strongly encourage all donors to remove any data from the equipment they donate to us. We recommend using DBAN to wipe all the data off of computer hard drives before bringing them to Motor City Free Geek. Regardless of whether you erase the data before donating, the standard procedure at Motor City Free Geek is to wipe all hard drives using DBAN. Motor City Free Geek will not boot or access any donated hard drive unless it has been wiped. Hard drives that cannot be wiped due to physical malfunction or system incompatibility will be physically destroyed. Aggregate statistics about donations may be used for marketing and grantwriting purposes.

Volunteer Information

During your first volunteer session with Motor City Free Geek, you will be asked to read and sign the Volunteer Agreement that outlines what Free Geek expects of you and what you can expect of Motor City Free Geek in return. This document will be kept on file until it is considered out of date or until you ask us to discard it. Each time you volunteer at Motor City Free Geek, your volunteer hours will be logged so that we will know when you are eligible for your free computer.
