Spare Backup to Rollout Its Revolutionary Suite of Mobile Parental Controls Beginning on October 31, 2011

MINDEN, Nev., Oct. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Spare Backup Inc. ("Spare Backup") (OTCBB: SPBU), a provider of data backup and security software for smartphones, tablets and PCs, which are carrier and manufacturer agnostic, today announced the rollout of its revolutionary suite of mobile parental controls beginning on October 31, 2011.  Spare Backup will begin pre-selling the new parental control features to its distributors in Europe and North America beginning on October 15, 2011.

This new suite of parental controls is the perfect tool for parents to monitor and manage numerous aspects of their children's use of smart mobile devices. The simple set-up wizard helps users enable boundaries for monitoring up to 5 children's locations and times of daily activities like school, sports, and time with friends.  Once the rules are in place, if the child's phone is not in the location it should be, the intelligent software automatically notifies the subscriber through email or text. Through the secure website and mobile devices, a parent can view mapped trails to see where their child has been.  In the upcoming months additional services will be rolled out to complement these controls.

According to numerous industry experts, by the end of 2011 there will be 627 million smartphone users around the globe, accounting for 12.3 percent of the total number of active SIMs. By 2015, the smartphone user base is estimated to reach over 1.5 billion, accounting for 24.8 percent of the active SIMs. Vendor shipments of smartphones will exceed 269 million in 2011 as compared to only 194 million notebooks (PC and Mac).  By 2015 shipments of smartphones are estimated to increase to over 448 million worldwide.  In addition, with more and more children using mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and other internet connected devices each day there is a growing need for parents to exercise control over this medium.  

Commenting on the rollout, Cery Perle, CEO of Spare Backup stated, "Spare Backup's parental controls are a unique and cost effective way to monitor a child's mobile activity and location in a secure way.  In this information age children are being exposed to more danger and parents are less empowered to protect them from harm.  The ability to receive instant notification of a child's whereabouts, if they are not where they are supposed to be, could make all the difference in their safety.  We are confident that there is a significant market for these controls. We anticipate sales from this rollout will have a noticeable impact on our performance this quarter.  We look forward to the start of pre-sales in the coming weeks as we continue to add new and exciting features to help parents get ahead of the curve in mobile monitoring."
