You might not see it, but wireless thieves are all everywhere!

When you’re going on vacation it is important to plan as much as possible to ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible. While we can’t foresee every problem that might arise, it’s better not to leave some things to chance.

 

Did you know that identity and personal data thieves are everywhere? Whether you are visiting an undeveloped country or on a business trip to a bustling metropolitan city; these thieves are everywhere. They are discrete, subtle and have access to technology that allows them to steal without even touching you. It’s called RFID (radio frequency identification) and it allows them to steal your identity, credit card information and other personal data by simply walking by you and pointing the device in the general direction of your bag or wallet. 

 

So how do we protect ourselves against this type of robbery? Simply arm yourself with the right tools and Bentley is here to help. Here are the 5 items to protect your personal data:

 

How to protect your passport?

Your passport is probably the most precious item you carry with you when traveling. It is your primary form of identification and is required to travel to and from various places, and in some instances make purchases that require identification like renting a car or reserving a hotel room. Canadian passports in particular are sought after by thieves as they rarely raise flags at customs.   

 

The microchip embedded in passports holds all your personal info making it easy to steal. The solution? A passport cover.

 

An RFID protected cover offers you not only protection from data theft but from the elements as well. Keeping your passport in a separate holder prevents it from being bent, spilled on or torn. If you tend to travel often a 10 year passport can use some shielding.protect personnal data

How to protect your wallet?

Credit cards, debit cards and personal identification contain information that is so often stolen and subject to fraudulent activity. Having your banking info stolen while on vacation or a work trip is beyond inconvenient, it can ruin your whole trip. Spending the day worrying, calling all of the banks and trying to get access to new cards is everyone’s nightmare.   

 

RFID protected wallets are the easy way to protect your personal data from prying hands. They are available for women, men and even adolescents, a definite investment for traveling and even everyday use.portefeuille RFID protéger données personnelles

How to protect your bag?

Even if you already have an RFID protected wallet, it doesn’t hurt to double it up with an RFID protected bag. Sometimes when we are sightseeing or enjoying our vacation, we aren’t paying close attention to our handbag or backpack. If you absentmindedly put your credit card in a side pocket you are leaving yourself vulnerable without even realizing it. Luckily, there are so many styles and designs to choose from so you don’t have to sacrifice style for safety. 

 

Whether you like crossbodies, belt bags, messenger bags, shoulder bags or backpacks, Bentley has an anti-theft solution for you to prect your personal data.
