Computer or a mobile phone works on indigenous operating system, what makes it useful are the apps. The same apps which ask for a lot of permissions once you have installed them and will not work properly unless you have granted access. However, unknowingly we also end up granting a lot more permissions, which we think are insignificant but are potentially dangerous since these could contain anything from personal and sensitive documents, passwords, passcodes, videos, photos, planners, etc.
Most apps, imperative of the permissions, do keep pilfering certain information, something that might not be necessary for them. However, with Privacy Guardian, it is possible to check what permissions have been granted to each app. You can then begin disabling each permission so that the information you want to protect does not pass on to someone potentially dangerous.
Your information is being pilfered from a number of sources on your gadget. These are call history, SMS/MMS or any other messages, notifications, libraries for both documents and media, emails, contacts, calendar, etc. Simply open the privacy guardian and check what permissions have been granted to each app. You can start disabling permission and ensuring that the data leakage does not happen. Privacy guardian can also monitor ability of apps to use wireless transmitters like the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to pilfer information. So when you take away permissions inherently provided to applications to turn these wireless transmitters on or off, you are preventing unmonitored activity that may be potentially harmful.
Placing calls through apps is generally enabled to make metered calls that are always charged to you. However, before allowing this permission sub-consciously, you can take an informed decision or allow app to make calls only when required. Also, another potentially sensitive information can be passed through task lists, Preventing these lists to be accessed can ensure your safety.
Privacy Guardian gives you the power to ensure you have created a safe online environment which will discourage any type of sensitive information to be passed onto unwanted entities.
