Hello Fluo,

You ask some great questions and hopefully we have some great answers for you.

With Regards to Credibility, how do you know we are working for charities and not for cash?

We are a division of SOLS 24/7, a large international NGO - possibly the largest non formal educator in South East Asia, with more than 140,000 students trained. Our main organization has around 30 centers across Malaysia right now, with the backing of the Better Malaysia Foundation and the Berjaya Group. SOLS Tech itself is working closely with Hong Leong Bank who has donated significant numbers of their banking computers, and Tech Soup Asia, as well as Microsoft, and has collected from many enterprises across the country. We, SOLS 24/7, of which SOLS Tech is a part, is one of the only NGOs in the region to voluntarily do full audits of accounts, even doing receipt tracking!

If you have any questions, or want to see our space, we invite you to come by our headquarters. We are located in Sungai Besi, near to TBS, and welcome visitors. Specifically, SOLS Tech is in Unit G-8.
With regards to security of your information; we do not currently offer official audit certificates for the computers we refurbish. Unfortunately we cannot afford Blanco's high end software which will do that - nor do we have the current through traffic volume to necessitate such a purchase. However, we do use their free software, DBAN (Duke's Boot and Nuke) with a minimum of 8 write overs, which completely erases hard drives on every item which enters our doors. It is the first step in our refurbishment process. To this day nobody has been able to recover anything from a DBAN disk - even shadow imprints are unfetchable. Not working hard drives are either magnetically wiped, or physically broken before recycling/upcycling as well.

If you are truly concerned about the security of your items, please feel free to use DBAN yourself before you donate - http://www.dban.org/download
