So Let’s Talk About Unlawful Spying and Computer Rentals

At our core, we are one of the world’s largest computer rental suppliers. We deliver globally, and we stock over $40 million in inventory.

This in itself is pretty impressive, because there’s a whole lot of competition out there and it’s a fairly lucrative market.

We’ve built on our reputation of being able to deliver quality products and service on intensive deadlines, and we’ve been in business for many, many years.

But not all companies operate with the same ethics as we do – and this became clear recently in a case that blew up on the news. A couple sued a PC rental company for allegedly spying on them with a webcam.

According to Brian Byrd of Wyoming, when the "spying" came to light, he and his significant other were quick to contact the police. Byrd’s justification was clear – he said that both his wife and his child pass by the computer on their way to the bathroom, and he was concerned at what images might be being snapped on their behalf.

Privacy in tech is a huge issue – any breaches tend to result in sensationalized coverage – as was true in this case.

Now, I can’t speak for other companies, but I can basically promise that we won’t ever spy on you in this manner. Because what you do in your business dealings is just that… your business. Every unit we send out is freshly cleaned, re-imaged and spyware-free – just like new, for you.

Because of the longevity of our service and because of our reputation, we are hoping that these concerns will drive customers towards us – an entity they can trust.

So, even though those other guys are giving desktop computer rental companies a bad name, we hope to rise above the fray to come out on top. At least that’s my (the editor’s) expectation.

After all, we have our own system for tracking our products that doesn’t involve snapping pictures of our customers in their unmentionables. For now, we’ll keep offering our same great inventory, services and value – with a heaping side of ethics to boot.
