SmrtGuard announced the release of Personal Guardian, a personal safety app for BlackBerry smartphone users that sends your GPS location in case of an emergency.
Personal Guardian is a one-push panic button that triggers an emergency call, email, SMS text, or Twitter message with GPS location information.
In emergency situations, it's a fast way to alert loved ones and 911 emergency centers that you're in danger and the details of your location.
Smartphone owners can manage their account from the Personal Guardian web portal to customize emergency alert messages, contact information and recipients, and track the location of their phone.
In an emergency, once the panic button is activated, Personal Guardian automatically and silently initiates real-time location tracking and sends a custom emergency message to preconfigured contacts and communication channels.
Personal Guardian is also available as part of SmrtGuard PRO, which includes mobile anti-virus and anti-spam, wireless data backup and restore, remote data wipe, remote GPS tracking and phone locator, call blocker and more.
Personal Guardian is currently available for BlackBerry smartphones for a one-time purchase of $19.99 that includes lifetime access to the Personal Guardian web portal. Android and iPhone versions will be available shortly. Start protecting yourself today with Personal Guardian by visiting www.smrtguard.com/personal-guardian/.
"Personal Guardian was developed to help increase the personal safety of smartphone users everywhere," said Robert Kao, Founder and CEO of SmrtGuard. "Whether walking home alone at night or venturing into an unknown neighborhood, it provides users with peace of mind knowing that help is just one push of a button away."
