The present invention is a location tracking method installed or embedded in an electronic device as an agent (for example software, firmware or hardware) that determines the location of the device and sends the location information to an owner's email address directly or via a relay agent in a fault-tolerant and privacy-safe manner. Others can not track whereabouts of the owner and the device. The method does not use any monitoring server (or system) and does not use any personally identifying information to protect privacy of the device owner. The system's enhanced privacy, multiple redundant location determination and location information delivery system that overcomes such common problems as: the need for a dedicated location monitoring system; location determination errors; IP address blocking; port blocking; owner's email account failure; and other obstacles that hinder location information delivery to an owner's email address. Additionally this system has an optional data destruction function that can be activated by a remote control program to destroy data on the device once the device establishes connection with the remote control program in an owner's computer.
