@CATG13 - from O2 Switch up FAQs:

To do our bit for the planet, we take back your old phone and refurbish it, wiping any data before we sell it on to someone as one of our Like New phones.

You should wipe all data yourself before handing over the phone.

It won't be possible for O2 to do it if you had an iPhone as you will need to sign out of your Apple account - only you can do this.

You should return to the store to do it asap.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
