-Description:
-IMPORTANT NOTE: Before running Mobile Martus, you (or someone you
-designate) must have a Martus desktop client account set up on a computer to
-receive your Mobile Martus data, and you will need that account info to
-configure Mobile Martus. If you do not already have it, you can download the
-Martus desktop client and follow the installation instructions in the Reference
-Guide at https://www.martus.org.
-
-Mobile Martus is a secure, Android-based mobile documentation application built
-on Benetech’s Martus technology, which allows human rights defenders, activists,
-journalists, and other users anywhere in the world to securely gather
-information about human rights violations.
-
-The Mobile Martus application allows users to send crucial data from the
-field—text, photographs, audio and video—to the Martus network of secure
-servers. The data is automatically encrypted on the mobile device, and when
-being sent to the server, so it is protected in case the device is lost, stolen
-or confiscated. A user—or someone they designate—can later retrieve their data,
-and can search, analyze and report on the information, using the Martus desktop
-client software (https://www.martus.org) on their computer.
