solution is already used by many organizations to eliminate the risk
of costly data breaches and comply with standards and regulations
pertaining to data privacy.

"We are pleased to be selected to partner with KDDI and OCT in their
trade-in program," said Kim Vaisanen, CEO and Co-Founder of Blancco.
"It is yet another example of how Blancco Mobile plays a vital
security role whenever mobile devices change hands. We commend both
organizations for making this best practice part of their program."

Set to begin June 27 in all au Shop(s) and some of its partner
outlets all over Japan, the trade-in program's purpose is to help
users switch to new phones and make the transition secure and
convenient.

Blancco Mobile is designed to securely erase a smartphone's internal
and external memory. Restoring factory settings does not ensure that
data is permanently destroyed because data can still be recovered
afterwards. Blancco Mobile permanently erases all user data such as
emails, contacts and text messages facilitating the safe reuse or
resale of the phone. The software also works with tablet computers.
Blancco Mobile [http://www.blancco.com/en/videos/?video=videos/solut

iPads), Android phones and tablets, BlackBerry, Nokia Symbian and
Windows Mobile.
