【Risk of Personal Information Leaks on Business Devices】
In hospitals and schools, numerous photos and videos are taken daily for record-keeping and communications. An increase in such photos in company-issued devices is a nightmare for administrators. Despite guidelines for regular deletion, these photos are often left on devices and risk leakage during malfunction, upon discard, or loss. Once leaked, recovery is impossible, and it incurs a risk of legal action.
【About Media Cleaner】
Media Cleaner is an app designed to mitigate these risks. It is a tool that automatically deletes media after a specified period has passed.
Based on security guidelines, it can be set to delete photos after 24 hours. To prevent forgetting to delete, push notifications can be set at a specific time every day, preventing accumulation of patients or students photos and videos on the device.
【Key Features】
Automatic media deletion: Media is automatically deleted after a specified period has passed. (Due to Apples restrictions, user permission is required for deletions)
Customizable notifications prevent forgetting to delete. Deletion can be completed in an instant. Day of the week and time can be freely set.
Simple and easy-to-use interface: Designed for use in corporate environments and easy for anyone to operate.
【Leakage Cases】
1. Leakage of patient photos from medical institutions:
- In a hospital run by a certain medical corporation, photos and medical records of patients before and after treatment were managed on business smartphones and tablets. However, these devices were stolen. This leakage can lead to a loss of trust between the patient and the hospital and might result in legal issues.
2. Leakage of student photos from school:
- In a middle school, photos of students during extracurricular activities and physical education classes were taken using the teachers smartphone. These photos were made public when uploaded to social media, resulting in complaints from students and parents. Unauthorized publication of childrens photos is considered an invasion of privacy and is very risky.
3. Leakage of childrens photos from a daycare:
- In a certain daycare, photographs of the childrens daily activities and play were taken for reporting to parents. However, the device was lost, and the childrens photos were leaked, causing a significant loss of trust from the parents.
4. Leakage of a product prototype:
- An employee of a well-known electronics manufacturer took photos of a new product prototype with a business smartphone. The image was backed up to the cloud, which was later accessed illegally, leading to the information leak. In this case, the stock price dropped due to a leak before the product announcement.
5. Leakage of meeting materials:
- In a confidential international business meeting, participants took photos of slides and diagrams with their smartphones. These images were mistakenly sent to an outsider via social media, disclosing sensitive transaction information.
6. Leakage of business drone images:
- Images from drones used at construction sites and for land surveys were managed on business smartphones. This data was leaked externally, revealing the companys plans and strategies to competitors.
By using Media Cleaner, you can minimize the risk of information leakage and avoid legal risks.
【Not for personal use】
This is for corporate devices that should always keep "Photos" empty. It deletes all photos and videos after a certain period of time (they can be restored from "Recently Deleted Items"), so it is not suitable for personal device use.
