Sanitization and switching phones used to be tasks for professionals or for those with extensive technical knowledge. With the new service called Cellfie consumers can perform the following tasks by themselves:
• Have content removed permanently and receive a certificate for a successful secure-erase. Cellfie Slett (Erase) is particularly important to companies due to new legislation on personal data. The latest edition of the operating system is installed on the wiped device.
• Cellfie Overfør (Switch) is a quick and hassle-free way for mobile phone content transfer from an old to a new phone. Service allows cross-operating systems (Android/iOS/Windows) content transfer.
Later, Alternativ Data will include additional services to Cellfie, including a useful diagnostic tool for cell phones.
“We firmly believe there is a need for a user friendly service for everyone to perform advanced tasks on their phones. Also, a mobile device represents a valuable resource, whether it is passed on to family members, gets resold, or is delivered to an environmentally friendly recycling system,” says Lene Zachariassen, Head of Security at AD, the company behind Cellfie.
