It is important that your 'presence information' (your location, your availability to be contacted, knowledge about if you are online and on which device) is managed securely and is only given out to people that you want to have such information.

Your Private PlanetTM-enabled devices can securely relay your presence data to your Planet server. By storing this information on your Planet server, you can be specific about who can see how much of your presence information. For example you might want your family members to know your exact whereabouts, but you may wish your work colleagues only to know which country you are in.

Many Internet portals offer services that keep your presence information, in effect gathering very sensitive data from you – your location. With Private PlanetTM, you are the guardian of your own presence information!
