1. Scope
This policy applies to the planned handling of donated or transferred technology considered for ReworkIT programs. It is a public foundation framework and will be expanded before operational device intake begins.
2. Donor responsibilities
Donors remain responsible for complying with their own legal, privacy, information-security, asset-management and contractual obligations before releasing equipment. Organisations should remove accounts, access credentials, removable media and sensitive information in accordance with their internal requirements.
3. Intake & triage
Equipment should be accepted only through an approved ReworkIT intake process. Devices may be assessed for refurbishment, parts recovery or a responsible recycling pathway. Donation does not guarantee refurbishment or redistribution.
4. Data handling
ReworkIT intends to adopt a documented data-sanitisation process appropriate to the type of storage media and intended reuse. Until that operational process is published, donors should not rely on ReworkIT as their sole mechanism for secure deletion of sensitive or regulated information.
5. Reuse & recycling
Devices assessed as safe and suitable may be repaired, upgraded, used for training or prepared for approved community programs. Equipment that is unsafe, uneconomical to repair or unsuitable for reuse should be directed toward responsible parts recovery or recycling pathways where available.
6. Records & transparency
As the program matures, ReworkIT should maintain proportionate records for accepted equipment, assessment outcome, refurbishment status and final disposition. Public impact reporting should use verified figures rather than estimates presented as fact.
7. Policy status
Foundation V1.1 — development framework. This page is not a certification of operational capability. It establishes the safeguards that should be completed before formal intake and redistribution programs are launched.
