IMPORTANT: Shipping cutoff to get UP Phone in time for Christmas is Friday December 20th.
Privacy is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity in a world where our smartphones are central to our everyday life—managing work, staying connected, shopping, and more. Although the big mobile tech duopoly, Apple and Google, signal they understand the trends in the marketplace - that privacy is a priority for consumers - their true colors ultimately prioritize their data-hungry business models over true user privacy.
For professionals seeking real privacy, UP Phone offers a new standard in private mobile technology. Whether you’re upgrading your device or buying a gift for someone who values security this holiday season, the UP Phone ensures peace of mind for years to come.
Privacy Risks Professionals Face
We all know the challenges of privacy in today’s digital landscape are vast and many times our fast passed lives and convenience dictate the products we choose. For professionals, however, these risks go beyond simple inconveniences to potentially devastating consequences:
- Corporate Security Breaches: Sensitive emails, files, client, records, financial account details, and communications stored on unsecured devices are prime targets for hackers.
- Data Harvesting: Even the most reputable apps often collect and sell user data, which can be exploited for malicious purposes or invasive profiling.
- Phishing and Malware Attacks: Professionals using their devices for work are at higher risk of cyberattacks designed to steal credentials and access confidential systems.
Why the UP Phone is the Professional Choice
UP Phone is designed to deliver the highest level of privacy and security without compromise. Unlike Apple or Google-based products, the UP Phone prioritizes your control over your information. Here’s how:
- We don’t want your sensitive data. Period. The UP Phone runs on a stripped-down, privacy-first operating system that collects minimal user data (encrypted and anonymized)—no tracking, no profiling, and no individualized ad-targeting.
- Custom-Built Secure OS: Unplugged’s LibertOS 2.0 is built for privacy, eliminating bloatware and security vulnerabilities often found in other devices.
- Simplified Permissions: The UP Phone blocks apps from accessing data or hardware (e.g., camera, microphone) without explicit consent, and all permissions are temporary by default.
- Encrypted Communication Tools: UP Messenger integrates robust, end-to-end encrypted communication.
For Unplugged, these features form the foundation and a complete reimagining of how a smartphone should operate in a privacy-first world.
This holiday season consider gifting the UP Phone to the high-achieving professional in your life and reward them with the privacy and security they need and deserve.
