Retriever Industries LLC Announces Process to Protect Society When Tracking People and Property.

NEWTOWN, Pa. -- Are you concerned with the increasing ability of companies to intentionally, or sometimes unintentionally, track people and property? Are you concerned with protecting your privacy, and making sure tracking capabilities are not used against society by criminal elements - thieves, serial rapists, pedophiles, etc.? If so, you may want to pay attention to an auction currently on, of all places, eBay.

On Monday, October 10th, Retriever Industries LLC of Newtown, Pennsylvania placed its assets for sale at auction on eBay, item number 7552696494. Among the assets, Retriever filed several patent applications earlier in the year for a process to be used in tracking lost or kidnapped humans or lost and stolen property. The patent applications deal with security protocols designed specifically to protect society - people, property and privacy.

John Black, Retriever Industries' CEO states, "We have established a very low price for the Company - basically just recouping our costs, not seeking enrichment - as we want to see the process utilized. We have contacted many major companies developing products in the sector and thought others might be interested in tracking the sale to see who may emerge as a company also thinking through potential abuse of the technology and protecting you - and therefore perhaps worthy of your support in the future."

Last year a friend of Mr. Black had a laptop stolen which contained a tremendous amount of personal information. His own laptop included a great deal of business records and he wanted to take extra steps to protect it. "We thought there would be a 'Lojack-style' tracking device available but found none. What we did find was that the ability to track people and assets is being developed by a great many companies, but we did not (and still do not) see much concern for protecting against misuse beyond the pleas of several interested consumer groups, reporters, and a few visionary politicians. "

Researching the potential uses of tracking Retriever Industries became concerned with how such a capability could be misused - and came to the conclusion that the ability to track electronically can be a very dangerous instrumentality. Retriever believes it is critical to insert a "security layer" in the process - people who will carry out the tracking and involve law enforcement when necessary - humans who can themselves be screened and their own actions tracked.

Retaining a major law firm in Philadelphia for assistance, Retriever Industries filed patents with the USPTO for the process which can be applied regardless of the tracking technology utilized - RFID, GPS, etc. At this time the Company has diminished funds but still believes the process is critical to protect societies around the globe and is therefore attempting to sell the assets.
