Privacy and Anonymity Solution Released

RESTON, VA, September 3, 2006 — Primum Group Technologies, Inc. (PGTI) today launched online subscription sales of its new encrypted email and messaging service, “TrustedPear™” at www.TrustedPear.com. “Trusted PearTM” is so named because it provides trusted, encrypted and anonymous exchange of messages between pairs of users. All Trusted PearTM email and other messages are always encrypted, private between agreed users and allow for anonymous exchange on the Internet.

TrustedPear™ was first publicly seen at a Small Business Innovation Research conference in Albany, NY, during late 2005. TrustedPear™ has been in use by PGTI’s corporate clients since early 2006. TrustedPear™ has been funded entirely by private investment. “The integrity of our systems and protecting our customers are key values to us,” said Kim Smith, PGTI spokeswoman.
“Our technology provides true privacy, anonymity and security. A user’s content and identity are always protected. TrustedPear™ messages are always encrypted on our servers, and while in transit to the user for viewing. Even the fact that someone is using TrustedPear™ can be hidden from a user’s ISP, added Smith. “All other providers of “privacy” and “anonymity” services disclose key elements of a user’s identity or behavior at some point during an online session.”

TrustedPear™ provides various subscription formats, ranging from Free Accounts to Standard and Premium accounts. Premium TrustedPear™ account users are permitted an unlimited messages per month and 100 MB storage. Free account holders are permitted 15 messages per month, and 10MB storage. Prices range from free to $14.95/month depending upon the level of service needed. A comparison of service levels is available by visiting www.TrustedPear.com, and clicking on “Learn More.”

“Enterprise versions of TrustedPear™ are available for company intranets,” noted Smith. “Since early 2006, our customers have asked for Chinese, Arabic and Spanish versions of TrustedPear™. We hope to deliver those options in future releases.”

“Many people talk about protecting free speech, Internet privacy and encrypted email—we’ve done something about it,” said Smith. “We believe from our analysis of TrustedPear™’s performance, that our users are also protected from government intrusion and eavesdropping.” “We hope to see that the American history of free and anonymous speech continues, especially in venues like the Internet,” Smith added. “TrustedPear™ is ideal for discussion of financial deals, private banker discussions, whistleblower groups, attorneys and their clients, doctor-patient discussions, political and special interest groups who wish to keep their plans secret.”

“TrustedPear™ has no spam, cannot send or receive spam. It gives users considerable flexibility regarding whom they allow to communicate with them,” said Smith.
