Full description
PLEASE NOTE: The Dust Beta will be running for approximately one month, closing in late 2018. Since this is only a Beta version of Dust, we will not be archiving or migrating any of your information (i.e. user profiles, address book, or any conversations you have) when we relaunch Dust. And most importantly, the Beta program is an opportunity for you to tell us what you like about our new app, and what you like/dislike. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Private texting with Dust! Do you know that your text messages are stored forever in “the cloud”? Text messages (SMS) are full of private information that puts you at risk of theft, fraud and abuse by advertisers. For everyday texting of photos with friends, family and colleagues, or exchanging more sensitive information such as credit cards, social security numbers, bank information, wire transfer instructions, passwords, or medical records, Dust is the most secure choice. Dust supports 1:1 texting, group texting, and photo / video sharing. DOWNLOAD DUST NOW TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PRIVACY SAFE Dust is the safer place to text. Every message deletes automatically after 24 hours...permanently. Hackers, fraudsters, advertisers and identity thieves can’t access your data. WORRY-FREE Dust combines the EASE of a text with the SAFETY of a private phone call. Messages on Dust can never be recovered. Unlike standard text messaging where everything you say is stored on phones or servers, Dust conversations are heavily encrypted and not accessible by anyone, not even us. CONTROL YOUR DATA Messages sent on Dust automatically erase after 24 hours. For added protection, you can set your messages to "dust" immediately after the recipient reads them. It's your choice. NO-PROOF SCREENSHOTS A screenshot cannot prove who sent a message because names are not displayed in private chat rooms. Dust also detects and notifies you if a screenshot is taken. SAMPLE PERSONAL USES FOR DUST 1) Text and share photos with family and friends 2) Organize a group event such as bachelor / bachelorette parties 3) Keep in touch with family overseas SAMPLE BUSINESS USES FOR DUST 1) Accountants can Dust with clients to collect financial information 2) Real estate professionals (escrow, title, agents) can use Dust to exchange wire transfer instructions 3) Lawyers can use Dust to discuss private matters with clients 4) Executives can discuss discreet matters with colleagues, investors and clients To read more about Dust, our patent-pending technology and company, visit our website at https://www.useDust.com
