Privacy Phone Overview
Introducing the world's first smartphone featuring hard kill switches, empowering its users to take back control of their privacy. All phones feature a built-in privacy control center giving users full control of access and functions of their phone.
Version 1 of the Privacy Phone gives our users enormous power over his or her privacy.
- Bank of switches allowing physical disconnection the battery, WiFi, Bluetooth and geolocation, the camera and the microphone, and more.
- Resistant to Stingray or any other IMSI catcher device.
- Web search anonymizer to prevent searches from triggering an avalanche of ads.
- Developed in the United States, designed in Denmark, and assembled in Europe.
- Version 2 coming in 2018
Technology taking over the world
This is a really interesting looking device. I really like the idea of physically disconnecting components like radios rather than trusting that you're safe behind a software toggle.
I stopped purchasing phones when they became unable to take off the back, and pull the battery. What an invasion of privacy!
I had my current Note 4 setup for wireless charging, and Samsung wants to display ADS on the phone, as it charges?!
That was the last straw; I pulled the wireless charging coil out of it, and never used it again...
I don't trust apps on phones; they can do anything they like, and user has little or no awareness of what an app is actually doing on their device; they will grant game apps unlimited permissions; they are surprised when their bank account gets cleaned out.
I trust web apps, and little else, on my phone... ;-)
Woow really useful phone, more in this days when privacy is a big problem
Wow this is really cool for some secret industry :)
It looks like one pretty good phone
I've seen similar pig ones where you can turn onboard encryption on but nothing like
I hope you are able to get one @hilarski
Me too, but I had to go on the secondary list.
I think I would be tempted to buy one just for the design.
That things looks awesome!
Looks interesting , Is it going to be available in Canada too?
It should be available everywhere but it will depend on what type of service it operates off of. I imagine it will be GSM not CDMA.
Ha. What a contrast. A privacy phone looking so good it is actually a show-off!
Was just a matter of time. Not surprised at all it's McAfee bringing it to the table.
