KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the importance of protecting customer data, U Mobile incorporates Blancco's industry leading data erasure technology
Consumers who take advantage of trade-in programs for mobile devices are often unaware that factory resets will not remove all data from smartphones and tablets. Blancco, the global leader in data erasure and computer reuse solutions, is now partnering with U Mobile Sdn Bhd, Malaysia's most dynamic and innovative telco, to offer Malaysia's first trade-in program for mobile devices with services for complete data erasure.

"Blancco develops the market's most advanced data erasure software, holding certifications and approvals around the world, and we are proud of our role in Southeast Asia's first mobile trade-in program with data erasure services," said Alan Puah, Managing Director for Blancco Southeast Asia. "Consumers looking to trade-up to the latest smartphone and tablet offerings can turn in old devices to U Mobile with peace of mind that all data will be removed."
Factory resets simply remove indexes to data, leaving data recoverable with simple tools. U Mobile's program incorporates Blancco Mobile, which works at a device's operating system level to overwrite and fully delete all data, while providing a report as proof.
Blancco Mobile is third-party tested and approved for data erasure by TÜV and DIPCOG and works with Android, iOS, Blackberry, Nokia Symbian and Windows platforms. It also adheres to requirements for data destruction set out by Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act.
