Collecting and storing any sort of confidential data must always be done with the utmost care. The Data Protection Act 1998 outlines the procedures that must be followed by law when storing any personal information about somebody else for business purposes. It requires businesses to only use information for the specific purpose it was provided, states that no information may be passed onto a third party without express consent, and allows individuals to retain the right to access any data stored about them at any time.

Smartphones have made it so that you can conduct your financial business from the palm of your hand, without accessing a bank or even a computer. Some people store financial information such as online banking information, log-in information, passwords and credit card details, on their phones. Needless to say, it is understandable for users to want to implement preventative measures in the event the phone is stolen or online vandals attack.
There are several apps that are available from both the Android and the iPhone markets that will help to protect your data and give you added peace of mind. Everyone who owns an iPhone or Android should have at least one of these apps installed on their phone.
