ICE-help items

ICE-help functions as an on-line tagging, tracking and identity service that facilitate the return of any lost item. ICE-help comes as:

•  tags for luggage, keys, personal items.
  Luggage tagging is one of the main uses for ICE-help tags. The tags are clearly visible and provide clear instructions on how to get information to contact the owner of lost luggage, or coat, or any other portable item.
•  pet tags  for animals.
  This is a new product, current in development. Please contact us if interested, and you can be one of the first to receive it when it becomes available.
•  labels for equipment, personal items.
  Documents and portable equipment can be made personal by attaching to them the ICE-help labels. Equipment such as mobile phones, laptops, and any other portable goods can be thus marked with an ID that links them to the owner.
•  USB device for people, equipment - the digital id, a portable memory USB key with private information and information for finders
•  various combinations of these products for total protection

Each item allows the finder of a lost item to connect with the owner (or his/her local contacts) via this web site, or, by sending an SMS message. Each ICE-help item has a unique ID number, linked to the owner which allows accessing the on-line information about the owner in order to return the item. Very useful for a traveller, a vulnerable person, or even a pet.

ICE-help USB

In addition to the tagging options, as in the ICE-help labels and tags, our flagship product the ICE-help USB does much more than tagging.

Uses

• it allows any third party quick and direct access to information that might be critical at the time - medication, allergies, emergency contact details (doctor, for example) and so on. This information is available off-line, by connecting the USB device to a computer (the ICE-help USB only works in computers running Windows).
• it serves as an excellent tool to update and keep plans and travel itineraries, for example. It can keep copies of tickets, bookings, and other travel related documents. This feature is password protected, only available to the owner. For further details click here to see the ICE-docs web site.
• it can securely store copies of important documents, which will only be accessible to the owner. For example, bank statements, password lists, ID information. Personal pictures, photos and scanned files, any other type of digital files can be securely stored. As with the previous item, this is only available to the owner, by logging in to the ICE-docs extension to the ICE-help software available on the USB device.

The ICE-help USB can be used when peace-of-mind is the main concern. Whether you are taking a class on a school trip or caring for a vulnerable person, the ICE-help USB key allows quick on-line access to information, which can save precious time to help the carrier of the device.

Most importantly, the ICE-help USB stick works off-line: an internet connection is NOT necessary to access the data that is submitted to the finder. This information, is the same that would be given if the finder used the web site to report a lost item. The additional personal data on the device is accessible only by the owner, and not shown to the finder of the device.

Extreme sports and activities The ICE-help USB in combination with labels and/or tags provides a total information service.

• If lost items are tagged, with a label or a tag, by contacting the web site it is possible to return them.
• If something happens to the carrier of an ICE-help USB, by running the software on the device, it is possible to see medical and other information entered by the owner, to be used In Case of Emergency.
