What happens to the device if I return it?

Sustainability is at the core of how Circular works. If you decide to swap the device for another model, or return it for whatever reason, it will be refurbished and reused, or recycled. If you keep the same device in use for more than 3 years and it is still in working condition, we will give the device to a local charity when you subscribe to another one. We’ll also erase any information stored on the device before passing it on to someone new.
