flickerSTICKS™ are portable, high capacity USB flash drives that can be plugged into any computer system equipped with a compatible USB port. By using the software applications installed on the drive, your personal and private data is encrypted in real time on the fly. Your secrets stay secret.
Encrypted volumes can not be cracked, hacked or forensically analyzed. The structure and method used to encrypt volumes ensures clues are never given away as to the contents of a volume or the amount of data contained within. As an additional layer of security, encrypted volumes can contain other encrypted volumes...all of which are 100% undetectable or discoverable, providing you with “plausible deniability” (that is, being able to deny the existence of an encrypted volume based on the fact that it absolutely can not be proven to exist).
For government workers or corporate executives handling sensitive information, encrypted flickerSTICKS™ means your data is safely portable.
Secure email is provided behind the encrypted volume allowing you to safely manage your email from anywhere in the world without the worry of being hacked or spied on.
The anonymous surfing applications allow you to keep bookmarks, history, cache and other incriminating digital footprints contained within the encrypted USB flash drive and not on the host computer. Secure IP masking and multi proxy server linking means your online identity can not be traced or discovered...even when visiting sensitive, monitored sites.
Your online digital footprints are stored on the USB drive while you surf, and automatically deleted and cleaned from the drive at the end of each session.
The combination of encrypted private data and anonymous surfing tools means you are protected from identity theft, snoops and more. Nobody will ever know your online habits.
Be safe in knowing your data is secure and your habits are untraceable even if your flickerSTICKS™ are lost, stolen, misplaced, or confiscated.
Privacy isn’t a privilege, it’s a right. Unfortunately, in today’s changing political climate it’s a right that is being slowly eroded away. The internet, while at one time providing complete anonymity, is no longer the playing field it used to be. ISP’s turn over logs and records to law enforcement, corporate interests, and private individuals in a heartbeat, and without your knowledge or permission.
Many employers provide computer access to staff, but at the price of forfeiting your privacy while online. Everything you do is monitored and tracked...and sometimes used against you.
flickerSTICKS™ help hide your identity while online. By masking your identity, misdirecting and covering your digital footprints, and hiding your IP address, flickerSTICKS™ helps ensure you won’t lose your job, your family, your business, or your freedom.
Everyone has secrets. Everyone should have flickerSTICKS™.
Pak 3 - Combo, 4GB is the most popular selling product. The combo package combines both the Encryption option and the Safe Surfing option. 4GB’s is almost the size of a DVD and seems to be enough storage for the needs of most people.
The USB hardware comes with a lifetime warranty from OCZ Technology. Upon confirmation of hardware failure by flickerSTICKS™, the faulty hardware and software installations will be replaced for you at no additional cost beyond the postage required to ship it to us.
The software does not come with warranties or guarantees and should be considered “use at own risk”. We recommend all data be backed up on a regular basis as software, regardless of the system being used, fails from time to time.
Should your drive become corrupted within 90 days of purchase, return the USB flash drive along with proof of purchase and it will be replaced free of charge (you must pay the shipping to get the drive to us).
If the drive becomes corrupted after 90 days, we can rebuild the drive for a nominal fee.
flickerSTICKS™ are less expensive while offering more features than competitive products. Each drive takes about 3 hours to configure and update with an additional 2 hours of extensive testing prior to shipping.
When you buy a flickerSTICKS™ USB drive, you’re not buying an out-of-the-box flash drive. Your buying a drive that has been specially configured with installed software designed to protect you and secure your data.
The bad guys are already doing bad things and are more than willing to break the laws of our civilized society. They have more options available to them for breaking laws and doing bad things than flickerSTICKS™ could ever possibly provide. They rob, steal, hack, crack, use spyware, viruses, malware and other techniques to harm and exploit innocent people every day.
Being able to easily steal and reuse the identities of innocent people makes life really easy for criminals. Criminals have the motivation to learn and use malicious tools otherwise unavailable to average people.
flickerSTICKS™ are designed to protect you by fighting identity theft, exploitation and online related physical crimes without breaking any of our laws.
We’ve installed and configured FireFox on each Safe Surfer and Combo pak so that when activated provides you the option of using proxy tunnels for your surfing. Proxy tunnels mask and hide your IP address while you surf. FireFox is also configured to automatically erase your tracks and digital footprints at the end of each online session.
Additionally, we’ve installed and configured Tor on your flickerSTICKS™ USB drive to operate in conjunction with FireFox. Tor encrypts the data moving from your computer to the internet and passes the encrypted data through a series of IP masking proxy servers throughout the world. An “exit” server decrypts the data at the last step, allowing the target website to communicate with you. Since the random proxy servers mask your IP address, it is almost impossible for your identity to be discovered, traced, or tracked.
No. The primary encrypted volume can have one password only. Secondary volumes can only have a single password and that password must be different than that of the primary volume.
No. Absolutely NOT. It’s not a matter of policy, but rather an issue of the technology being used. If you lose or forget your password, you will not be able to access data contained within the encrypted volume(s). The encryption used by flickerSTICKS™ can not be circumvented or defeated. There are no back-doors.
When required to do so, we cooperate fully with law enforcement. However, customer privacy is of paramount importance to us and we will do all within our legal power to protect it.
Law enforcement officials should be aware that it is technologically impossible to recover data from an encrypted volume without the password and there are no back doors.
While we use the best hardware and software applications available, it’s not perfect. Sometimes software or hardware can become corrupted. Even though it’s quite rare, you should be prepared. Always backup your data.
Formatting your flickerSTICKS™ flash drive isn’t a good thing to do. This does not qualify as a software or hardware failure. For a nominal fee and proof of purchase, we can rebuild the drive for you.
Yes. Volume discounts are available for larger orders. Individual drives can be serialized and branded for IT control or for promotional purposes. flickerSTICKS™ are already being used in secure corporate environments to protect employees and to protect corporate interests.
Yes. We offer a laptop customization service. The service includes the installation of LoJack (to trace your computer should it ever be stolen or lost), password protecting the bios, hard drives and OS, and encrypting the entire hard disk. Should the laptop be stolen or lost, your data is safe from prying eyes. The installation of LoJack ensures that should the laptop be connected to the internet (even if formatted and “cleaned”), law enforcement can trace it and return it to you.
Our desktop customization service includes the installation of LoJack, case intrusion detection, password protecting the bios, hard drives and OS, and encrypting the entire hard disk.
We also sell preformatted, encrypted SATA2 hard drives.
For most issues, the online form provided on the “Contact Us” page is sufficient. A support representative will contact you within 48 hours and provide access to the support ticket area.
We've chosen to use Skype as our VOIP provider. Since Skype does not yet offer Canadian phone, we've chosen a Seattle number due to its close proximity to Vancouver and the minimal difference in calling rates.
We're a pretty small office and get quite busy during the day processing orders. It seems the harder we try, the harder it is to keep up. We appreciate your call and hope you can be patient.
If you choose to leave a message, be sure to leave your name, telephone number, and an email address. We try to respond to all calls within 24 hours.
If you're calling to cancel an order, please leave a detailed message including your name, order number, telephone, address and email. This information will help us find and cancel the order. You will receive a cancelation confirmation email message within 24 hours of your phone message.
flickerPASS™ is an anonymous, basic online password vault. It’s a handy storage space where you can save up to 10 passwords at a time within our database system. The passwords can be stored or retrieved at any time from any computer with internet access. The vault supports a wide character set of up to 60 characters in length.
For your convenience, we’ve also included a password generator to make the creation process easier.
flickerPASS™ is a convenient way of managing up to 10 complex passwords. If you’re like most people, remembering complex sets of meaningless characters is very difficult. The flickerPASS™ password vault is a convenient way of managing up to 10 complex passwords. Simply log in at any time, from any computer with internet access, copy, and paste the password where needed.
The vault requires both a User Name, which you choose, and an Access Number, which we provide. As long as you choose a User Name that does not give away your identity, the vault is anonymous and should be safe.
Since the vault is anonymous, it shouldn’t be possible to match account owners to accounts. Furthermore, the likelihood of an attacker “guessing” your User Name and Access Number while at the same time having control of your flash drive is very small.
We strongly recommend that you back up all of your passwords to a secondary location.
Yes. flickerPASS™ works on a system of anonymity. Anyone who stumbles upon your User Name and Access Number combination can reset your passwords. We highly recommend you back up your passwords in a safe place.
Should demand warrant, we will migrate to a three key system of User Name, Access Number and a Master Password.
This problem is commonly the result of entering an incorrect User Name and Access Number combination. Try entering your User Name and Access Number again. The flickerPASS™ wallet cards have a convenient signature pad where you can write your User Name so it won’t be forgotten.
It may also indicate your subscription period has expired. You can renew your Access Number at any time from the store.
This is a big problem. Anonymity protects your passwords. This same anonymity makes it impossible for us to reset your user name. Accounts do not contain any personal identifying information and we therefore can not verify you are the account holder.
Each flickerPASS™ wallet card has a convenient signature pad on the back where you can write your User Name so it won’t be forgotten.
Yes. It is safer to purchase an item from our online store with your credit card than it is to make a purchase in a brick and mortar store with a debit card or cash.
Your credit card company works hard to protect you from fraudulent orders and has a great understanding of the online mechanism.
Additionally, we do not collect, receive, or store your financial information. We are in voluntary compliance with the international PCI/DSS regulations as set out by the credit card industry to govern e-commerce.
When you choose to make a purchase, our store will ask you to create an account in which you will provide us with your name, email address, phone number, and shipping address. This information is necessary for processing and mailing your order. When you are ready to check out, you will be taken away from our site and brought to WorldPay’s secure server to conduct your transaction in an extremely safe environment.
Upon completion of your order, WorldPay will send us your name along with the amount paid. We do not receive any financial details whatsoever.
All orders are filled within 48 hours of receipt except during national holidays which may require an extra day. If you have chosen the free shipping option, delivery is typically within 7-9 days but can take as long as 14 days. If you have chosen to pay for expedited shipping, delivery is typically 2-4 days.
The laws governing the sale of encryption products are very strict. We are not permitted to sell our products outside of the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Mexico.
The email you received should clearly state the reason why this has occurred. This tends to be an issue with your credit card company and it is best to contact them for more information.
Typical issues that may have caused your order to be rejected are:
Orders can be cancelled or refunded within 24 hours of being placed. All orders are processed and shipped within 48 hours. Once an order has shipped, it can not be cancelled or refunded.
