Privacy Screen For Your Tech
We’ve all been in a public space using our laptops, tablets or smartphones with the feeling that someone is snooping to see what we have on our screens.
So much sensitive information can be gleaned by others if we aren’t careful...it’s even got a name: Visual Hacking.
Whether you’re concerned about the nosey passenger sitting next to you on a flight or the shifty guy sitting near you at the coffee shop, there is something you can do.
Privacy screens have been around for a while and you can get them for laptops, tablets and smartphones.
They work by obscuring your display unless you’re looking directly at it, so those off to the sides only see a black screen.
On your portable devices, they provide privacy and an extra layer of protection for the glass.
They’re easy to install and remove, so if you spend a lot of time using your tech in public places, checkout the link I’ve posted to 3M’s protectors at DataDoctors.com/radio
