Managing work and personal spaces
BlackBerry 10 devices can distinguish between data that is for work use and data that is for personal use. Devices classify data as work or personal based on the source of the data. The classifications determine how devices store, protect, and manage data. For example, if data comes from a work account, it is stored in the work space on the device, and if data comes from a personal account, it is stored in the personal space on the device. After devices classify data as work or personal, personal data cannot be reclassified as work data.
You indicate how data is classified on a device by applying an activation type to the user account.

BlackBerry Balance technology permits users to use BlackBerry 10 devices for both work and personal use. Devices have a work space and a personal space with different rules for data storage, app permission, and network routing. By default, devices have only a personal space. When you activate a device, a work space is created. The personal space remains intact during the activation process and any user data, apps, or network connections that the user was using before the device was activated are available in the personal space. |
