An apparatus for deleting personal data stored in a portable electronic device includes a global position system (GPS) unit, a storage unit, a signal receiving unit, and a control unit. The GPS unit determines a real time location of the portable electronic device. The storage unit stores personal data and the real time location determined by the GPS unit. The signal receiving unit receives a signal sent from a remote control terminal. The remote control terminal sends the signal if a distance between the remote control terminal and the portable electronic device is within a predetermined range. The control unit erases the personal data stored in the storage unit of the portable electronic device in response to the signal received by the signal receiving unit. |
