Keep important information with you, keep sensitive information secure!

Having the right information with you will let you take advantage of spare time or unexpected opportunities. Unfortunately, having sensitive information with you all the time puts you at risk. If someone else gets a hold of your bank account or credit card numbers, it could cost you a lot of money. Keep important information with you, but be careful with it. Keep it protected — hidden in places another person wouldn’t expect to find it.

ON THE H/PC

Sensitive information can include bank account numbers, credit card numbers, safe combinations and cash machine access codes. Names and addresses of important contacts are sensitive. There are a couple of ways you can protect this information on the Handheld PC.

Hide important information in unexpected places. You can put your credit card numbers and cash machine access codes in your Contacts database in unexpected places:
Under a fictitious name in Contacts, as the person’s phone number.
In a Pocket Word document in an obscure folder, in another obscure folder, etc.
In the Notes field of an obscure entry in Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks.
A screen down in a Notes field, so that when someone opens the Notes tab, all they see is blank space.
In a hard-to-find part of a Pocket Excel worksheet. Make it hard to find for anyone except you, who will hopefully remember where it is.
Password protect your H/PC from the Password Control Panel.
