Rustington, from parcel to files back.
Four things Rustington asks.
Every Rustington postcode is BN16. Does that cover the whole parish?
Yes, it does. There are 901 postcodes in the parish list; but there are only 469 that are currently live/active. And every single postcode in the list is BN16. The route to the bench is the same whether you are on Sea Road or Dominion Way. So too is the amount quoted for both.
We are a care provider. How is confidential material handled?
Under a case reference instead of using the name, and read only as far as getting your files back requires. You will be able to review what was pulled from the disk and agree to it before any payments are made or anything is posted home. Our privacy statement outlines the rest in clear language.
The camera will not read the card. Are the pictures still on it?
Yes, very often. Usually it's the index that fails rather than the actual images stored behind the index. Even cards that have previously been formatted will retain their images unless they have subsequently been used to store new frames. So simply remove it, don't use it again to take any more photographs, and once you have a quote, by phone or with the form, let us look first, before you decide what action to take next.
An external drive fell off a desk. Is it worth sending?
Almost always. Dropping the drive a metre onto a hard surface will usually damage the mechanical parts of the drive rather than the disk surfaces, and leave the data stored on the drive intact. Therefore do not attempt to switch the drive back on to see if it still operates: this can easily convert what would be a repairable fault into a permanent loss of access to your files.
