About memory cleaning
Your BlackBerry® device turns on the memory
cleaning application automatically when you turn on
content protection or when you install the S/MIME
Support Package for BlackBerry devices or the PGP®
Support Package for BlackBerry devices on your
device.
The memory cleaning application on your device is
designed to clear sensitive content from memory.
Examples of sensitive content include sensitive web
content in the browser cache, unencrypted email
content, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
authentication passwords, and information from
certificate and key searches.
The device memory is designed to be cleared
automatically when your device:
• is inserted in the holster
• remains idle for a configured period of time
• is synchronized with your computer
• has its time or time zone changed
• is locked
