Application of the Week - Mermit PrivatCom
|
|
|
Mermit PrivatCom is a simple personal data manager for Symbian Series 60 mobile devices. Its main function is to provide a safe and convenient place to store confidential and personal data, such as contacts and messages or even username and passwords details into the mobile device. The user can directly save the data to this password -protected solution or simply import it from the device’s own contact book or a text message folder. It is also possible to receive messages from certain phone numbers directly to PrivatCom, so that no one can read these messages before first entering the password. PrivatCom uses an industry strength cipher to encrypt the data.
Thanks to PrivatCom, no one can offend the phone owner’s privacy - even when the phone is on and unlocked, or shared by others! Unauthorized persons cannot open messages and read messages containing private information. In case of an emergency the user can erase all the data stored in PrivatCom using a predefined code.
Mermit PrivatCom Highlights:
- A secure database protected by password even when the phone is on and unlocked
- The data is encrypted with the chosen password
- Using a special code immediately destroys the stored data
- Hides the received and sent SMS/MMS automatically to and from chosen numbers
- All hidden messages can be read only after entering the correct password
- Hides the phone calls to and from chosen numbers automatically
- Enables the importing of contacts from the phone to a PrivatCom’s own safe contact book
- Enables the importing of SMS and MMS messages from the phone to a protected folder
- User-friendly and intuitive interface
Languages currently available: English, Finnish, French and German. Other language implementations are available upon request. End-user price is around 5,90 €. Mermit PrivatCom is currently available for all the Series 60 devices. Different versions exist for S60 1.x and 2.x devices. The latter supports skins.
