The heart of your protection

The GLOBALBACK Cloud: your digital inventory for securing ownership

Whether it is a smartphone, laptop or e-bike – with the GLOBALBACK Cloud you manage your valuables centrally, securely and accessibly at any time.

Your decisive advantage: protection that works before you have even noticed the loss!

Imagine this: you are robbed or you lose a valuable item, but at that moment you have not even realised it yet. Even so, the GLOBALBACK system is already working for you! Because your property is registered in the Cloud via its identification numbers, ANY potential buyer running a check on our portals can immediately see that this item is registered. A thief or dishonest finder therefore cannot simply sell your property unnoticed as their own – the preventive proof already exists, before you were even able to set the status to “Stolen” or “Lost” yourself!

Our check portals: ebike-check.online · seriennummern-check.de · checkmich.online · checkme.website

Why registering is worth it

Make use of the GLOBALBACK Cloud – ideally right from the start. The best moment to register is straight after the purchase, while the receipt, the serial number and all the paperwork are still in front of you. Once registered, the Cloud can be of great use to you in many situations:

Your item is given a status

From the moment you register, your property is clearly identifiable as LOST or STOLEN – or you use the status to show whether you want to sell it (FOR SALE) or not (NOT FOR SALE). If an item that is registered as NOT FOR SALE is offered for sale, that contradiction should make any buyer sit up and take notice.

Thieves have a harder time

To make it harder for thieves and dishonest finders to sell your property, we run several national and international check portals – ebike-check.online, seriennummern-check.de, checkmich.online and checkme.website – where anyone can find out more before buying.

All your data to hand at any time

If something is lost and you have to provide details – to the police or to your insurer, for example – you have round-the-clock access to your data, wherever in the world you happen to be (provided you have internet access). Because let us be honest: who knows the serial number and IMEI of their smartphone by heart?

Warranty questions answered quickly

Is the device still under warranty when it breaks? Thanks to your registration you can answer questions like that quickly and easily – with no searching and no leafing through folders.

By the way: these four points are only examples. In everyday life you will soon discover further sensible uses – when the repair shop asks for the exact model, when you need the type designation for an accessory, or when you want all the details at a glance for a sale. Your digital inventory will help you more often than you might think today.

Everything at a glance

To help you find your way around, you can jump straight to the topics that interest you most:

1 What can be registered?

In short: anything that has a number of its own.

You can register any item that carries an identification number applied by the manufacturer – a serial number, an IMEI or a frame number, for example – and that can therefore be identified beyond doubt. From smartphones and cameras to notebooks and e-bikes.

2 Who can use the Cloud?

Our system rewards consistent precaution:

With a registered GBID

You enjoy unrestricted, free access to the GLOBALBACK Cloud – at no extra cost.

Unlimited for private use: register as many items as you like.

Are you self-employed, a club or a company? Simply ask us – we will be glad to tell you about our special terms.

As a guest (without a GBID)

You can register one single item – and only with the status “LOST” or “STOLEN”.

That way, anyone can file a loss or theft report if the worst happens.

3 Access & login – entirely without a password

Your access works through your email address alone – you do not need a password:

  1. Open the customer login: click the link Customer Login – you will also find it at the bottom of our website, in the footer.
  2. Enter your email address: use the email address stored with your GBID. You will immediately receive an email containing your personal access link.
  3. Confirm – done: one click on the link opens a new window, you confirm your access – and you are logged in directly and securely.

This may seem unusual at first, but it serves the security of your data: you do not have to remember complicated passwords that you will forget sooner or later anyway. Your email inbox is your key. (When signing in, please also check your spam folder in case the email does not land in your inbox straight away.)

As a guest too – that is, without a registered GBID – you sign in via the same link, Customer Login.

4 The dashboard – your control centre

After logging in you arrive at the dashboard, the control centre of the GLOBALBACK Cloud. Here you have full control over your inventory: you create new entries and can edit, print (for your insurer, for example), delete or transfer existing entries to other users at any time – when you sell something, for instance.

And should you no longer want to be registered at some point: you can also delete your entire account here yourself, quite easily.

5 The status: active prevention and transparency

Every item is necessarily given a status when it is registered. The reason is simple: thieves try to sell their loot as quickly as possible. Through our connected check portals – ebike-check.online, seriennummern-check.de, checkmich.online and checkme.website – every potential buyer has the opportunity to check the identification numbers before buying. You can change the status in your dashboard at any time – from NOT FOR SALE to FOR SALE, for example, if you do decide to part with something after all.

When you register an item as “FOR SALE”, it appears green in your private dashboard. In our public portals, however, this status appears highlighted in yellow when someone runs a search, together with a warning:

Your private dashboard

FOR SALE

For you as the owner: all fine, green.

Public check portals

FOR SALE

For buyers: yellow with a warning – please check the seller’s details carefully.

This is how we deliberately make it harder for stolen or misappropriated found items to be registered with us as simply “for sale” by offenders in order to deceive buyers acting in good faith.

Important to know: this service is intended as an aid to your buying decision. The entries come from the respective users – we cannot guarantee that they are correct.

6 What would you like to register?

Each time you register something new, you choose between three categories:

Other item

The category for (almost) everything: this covers every item that can be registered via an identification number – from a camera and a notebook to a chainsaw.

E-bike

Recording an e-bike by its frame number alone is no longer up to date – because a modern e-bike also includes a display, a battery and a motor. Stolen bikes are also often dismantled, since individual parts such as the battery alone are worth several hundred euros. Instead of entering each part separately under “Other item”, you record everything together under “E-bike”, yet still cleanly separated. Particularly practical when selling: you transfer the complete e-bike in a single operation instead of four separate ones.

Mobile phone / smartphone

Besides their serial number, mobile phones and smartphones can also be identified by their IMEI – some devices even have two IMEIs. That is why you register your device here with its serial number and IMEI(s) together, as a single item.

7 Transferring ownership securely

Say you are selling your e-bike – and the buyer also holds a GBID registered with GLOBALBACK? Then the transfer is done in just a few clicks:

  1. Click “Transfer”: in your dashboard, click the “Transfer” link on the entry concerned.
  2. Enter the buyer’s GBID: the buyer then automatically receives an email informing them of the transfer.
  3. The buyer confirms with one click – and the entry moves to the buyer’s dashboard.

Your privacy matters to us here: only the neutral basic data is transferred (identification numbers, manufacturer, model/type). Your personal details – purchase price, date of purchase, seller and your notes – are not passed on. They remain private.

As soon as the buyer has accepted the transfer, you receive written confirmation by email – and the entry disappears from your dashboard.

8 How we want to turn temptation into honesty

Imagine someone finds your very expensive camera. Even with people who are basically honest, the temptation in a personal financial emergency can be great to simply sell the find.

These days such a sale is easily possible via classified ads – except if your camera is registered with GLOBALBACK and set to “LOST”. The risk for the dishonest finder of being caught via the serial number when selling then rises enormously. Our aim is that precisely this knowledge moves the finder to return the camera directly to you, the rightful owner, instead – because the legal finder’s reward is ultimately the far safer alternative. And who knows: perhaps the increased risk will turn a dishonest finder into an honest one after all.

Ready? Your property is recorded in just a few minutes.

Log in to the GLOBALBACK Cloud and register your valuables – or first secure your own GLOBALBACK-ID for unrestricted access.

GBID and the GLOBALBACK Cloud: a strong and sensible combination.

While the physical GBID on your item is aimed primarily and directly at the honest finder, the GLOBALBACK Cloud goes one decisive step further: the digital record is aimed specifically – but not only! – at dishonest finders and thieves. Both systems mesh perfectly. Take a few minutes and record your valuables in the GLOBALBACK Cloud – to document your ownership, as a deterrent and as a practical help in your everyday life.
