How to hide private contact information

I keep data in my Address Book contact records that is private, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc. Of course, these records are sync'ed to my iPhone so I have them when I'm on the go, however it creates a security risk because if my phone is lost or stolen, anyone can get the private information.
I was wondering if there is a way to not have that private information sync to the iPhone or if that information can somehow be password protected.
Thanks for the help

You can set a passcode lock on the iPhone itself (Settings > General > Passcode Lock), but not for specific information on the phone.
You might also consider one of the searching the app store for one of the many apps designed to store encrypted information such as passwords, credit card numbers, etc.

    How do I get my contact information from my I pad to my desk top pc?

    From the contact application or cloud service you regularly sync to. Don't do that? Big mistake. You can "try" retrieving them from your iTunes backup, but you'll need third-party software to do so:

  • How to hide a contact in Address Book?

    May I hide certain contacts in Address Book?

    I'm assuming you don't want to hide a contact from yourself ... it sounds like you just need to start using the multiple-user nature of OS X (System Preferences - Accounts). Use one login for yourself, and set up others for anyone else who uses your computer (or one "general" account for everyone else - make sure you set it as Standard and not Admin). They will have their own address book, and yours will remain private.

  • HOW TO HIDE MDI WINDOW INFORMS 9I WHEN THEY RUN IN WEB BROWSER

    Hi. Will any body tell me how to hide the default MDI window title in Forms 9i when it run in Web Browser. I am using the "Look and feel" property as "Generic" in Formsweb.cfg file. I tried the RESIZE,POSITION,MINIMIZE,VISIBLE FALSE properties of SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY FUNCTION, But the horizontal Bar at the top displaying "Window" on it, is displayed. OR some time form is not displayed at all. So plz help me. This kindness of any one will be appriciated.
    Regards
    Inayat Qazi

    Hi Inayat,
    To remove the ORACLE icon, change the line "logo=" to "logo=x" in file formsweb.cfg.
    I am not sure if it is possible to remove the standard-menu (horizontal bar with word Window, as you describe it), because as far as I know it is inheritance for the Windows OS. In other words, removing the standard menu can only be achieved if you run on another OS.
    Kind regards.

  • How can i find contact information from phone?

    While I was attempting to update the OS to 4.3.5 on the Iphone and error occurred that prevented me from completing the update.  I ejected my phone from iTunes and immediately got a message on the phone telling me to connect to iTunes.  When re-connected to iTunes I got a message saying my phone was in restore mode and that I needed to restore it.  I did so and when prompted to sync with my existing phone profile / back up I did so.  However, I got nothing restored and instead got my wife's contacts, etc copied to my phone.  Is there a way that I can find the contact informaiton manually???
    Please help!!!!

  • How do I send contact information to a car stereo?

    I purchased a new Sony Car Stereo with hands free phone capability using Bluetooth  To use the preset buttons for contacts the instructions say to send the contact data to the car stereo by operating your cellphone.
    I don 't know what to do.  How do I do this?  I tried making the call, thinking the number would then be stored in the "Preset".  WRONG.

    iCloud will only sync contacts in the iCloud group.  You will have to move or copy your Hotmail contacs to the iCloud groups to upload them to your iCloud account.  You can do this in a contact management program on your computer such as Outlook, or you can try an app (speed names, multi-edit contacts manager, ABContacts, etc.).

  • How do I Put contact information into iCal event

    I am creating an event in iCal. I want to use an existing contacts name as the title of the event and their address as the 'where'. I don't want to use the invite tab. Some will not have email addresses anyway. I want to do this on my iPad. Anyone know of an App that will help. Thanks.

    This only works if your iCal is linked to a calendar server.
    To do this you need to go to iCal/Prefernces/Accounts  and follow the explanations.
    Good luck.

  • How to hide some contacts from Yahoo's address book?

    I have recently acquired the iPhone 5 and am very impressed with it.  I like the idea of using contacts from the iPhone, iCloud, GMail and Yahoo and linking them together in a unified contact, very cool idea!
    The problem that I have is that I have some contacts in my address book in Yahoo that are there just so that messages from those email addresses are not bounced to the Junk folder.  I want to keep them around but I do not want them clogging up my iPhone.
    I can delete them from the iPhone but does this delete them from my yahoo account as well or is there a way of just hiding them?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    //*eggbox

    That is a cop out, there is obviously a need to have unified contacts otherwise Apple would not have gone to the trouble of providing the feature in the first place.  The hole in the feature (in my opinion) is that it assumes that every contact in Yahoo, Facebook and GMail are equal when they are not.
    I have a workaround but it is not pretty, I created a dummy entry and linked every email address that I am not interested in to this contact, so they are "hidden" as such in a single entry.  The problem with this approach is that it takes a long time to get everything in the unified contact (lots of scrolling), also, there is no way of managing this through iTunes (on a PC in my instance).
    Bottom line is that it is a pain (you said that it would be) but there is no real alternative unless anyone else knows otherwise.

  • N82 how to hide private data?

    In my previous Nokia I could store private info behind a password in "Portfolio"
    I did not find any place in N82 for storing private data.
    Anyone can help me?

    Unlikely.
    First of all, everything will be password protected in this case, not just the "secret" data.
    Secondly, it'll only be protected until the user enters the passcode for the memory card. Thereafter, the phone remembers it and no longer prompts the user for it until such a time as the passcode stored in the phone is wiped (soft/hard reset or firmware installation).

  • Hiding private contact and other private information

    I have used a Palm PDA for years and depend on its ability to hide private contacts and private information while having those not marked private visible.  (To view the private information one must enter a password.)
    I am trying to migrate from using both the Palm PDA and Blackberry to using the Blackberry 8830 World Edition exclusively.  Is this feature available on the Blackberry?  That is to have certain information visible only after a password is entered?   If not, is there a third party program available which performs that function? 
    Thanks for your assistance.

    The native OS will use the password to lock the entire device.
    Yes, black pangolin appears to be the same as safebox. I don't know know about about Safebox or BlackPangolin to recommend it. I have not used it, and I have read show less than favorable reviews of it.

  • SRKIM: R12: Supplier Contact Information을 확인 하는 SQL

    PURPOSE
    R12 에서 Supplier Contact Information 을 SQL 로 직접 확인 하는 방법을 알고자 한다.
    EXPLANATION
    r12 는 SUPPLIER CONTACT 정보를 저장 하는 방식이 R11i 때와는 차이가 있다. 대부분의 정보가 여러 TCA tables 에 걸쳐 저장된다.
    AP_SUPPLIER_CONTACTS table 은 supplier address 와 various TCA tables을 연결 하는 linking table 이고 HZ_PARTIES 및 HZ_RELATIONSHIPS table 에 contact 정보가 저장이 된다.
    AP_SUPPLIER_CONTACTS의 아래 columns 들은 HZ table 과 다음과 같이 mapping 된다.
    Per_Party_ID = Party_ID of PERSON Party in HZ_PARTIES
    Relationship_ID = Relationship_ID of Rows in HZ_RELATIONHIPS
    Rel_Party_ID = Party_ID of PARTY_RELATIONSHIP Party in HZ_PARTIES
    Party_Site_ID = Maps to the Party Site created for the PARTY_RELATIONSHIP Party
    Org_Contact_ID = Org_Contact_ID from HZ_ORG_CONTACTS
    Org_Party_Site_ID = Party_Site_ID of the Supplier Site row.
    따라서 party_site_id 를 알 경우 아래 sql을 이용하여 Supplier contact 정보를 확인 할 수 있다.
    SELECT PERSON.person_first_name, PERSON.person_last_name, PTY_REL.address1,
    PTY_REL.City, PTY_REL.state, PTY_REL.country,
    PTY_REL.Primary_phone_area_code, PTY_REL.primary_phone_number
    FROM hz_parties PERSON, hz_parties PTY_REL, ap_supplier_contacts APSC
    WHERE APSC.per_party_id = PERSON.party_id
    AND APSC.rel_party_id = PTY_REL.party_id
    AND APSC.org_party_site_id = <Party_Site_Address_ID>

  • In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

    In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

    You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
    If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
    I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.
