Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Mobile Privacy Shield is an application for people on the move. Ones that store most of their important information on their smartphone and use their device for banking, shopping, business, and more. Mobile Privacy Shield takes care of all of your troubles with a single click. Privacy Advisor monitors the application permissions, sorting them into three categories. The main categorization criterium is the danger level. Each report is backed with detailed information and a solution for the situation. Mobile Privacy Shield allows you to remove each threat from inside the interface. With the addition of permission feature, Mobile Privacy Shield lists all permits in one list and allows you to follow their count precisely. Camera and microphone blockers allow the user to stay on top of these devices, ensuring zero chance of outside intrusion. The feature allows you to control the use of both camera and microphone in general, and which of the installed applications are allowed to use each of them. App Protector - a Parental Control feature - adds another level of protection, granting the user complete control over access to the installed apps. The feature allows the user to set a PIN or pattern to lock and protect individually selected apps. The App Protector feature will make sure only a permitted user can access the specific application selected. Mobile Privacy Shield Features Privacy Advisor - Monitor the permissions of the apps installed on your device, categorize them by danger level and remove them from inside the app if needed. Permission Control – Know the number and type of permissions installed apps have, control them, and remove, all from within the app. Camera Blocker – Block the use of camera without your authorization, and whitelist which applications are allowed to use it. Microphone Blocker – Manage general use of the microphone, and which of the installed applications can use it. App Protector – Locks specific apps and protects them with a PIN or Pattern, preventing the unauthorized access to the apps. This app uses the Device Administrator permission
