Bitdefender Puts iPhone Privacy App on Own Website to Bypass Apple Block
Published on:
Mobile anti-virus software vendor, Bitdefender says that it is making its iPhone privacy app, Clueful available for free on its own website in order to get around the ban on downloads from Apple's own iTunes store.
The new Clueful adds more features and more vital privacy information for users. Users are informed of apps that are careless with usernames and passwords, track location, read and use address books, access calendars, drain a device's battery, overly target users with ads, don't encrypt personal data or transmissions, track and aggregate the owner's usage through multiple analytics networks.
Alongside access to Top App listing information, users can now add comments on any app's clue card and comment on how developers handle their privacy.
"The iPhone is the most personal of your personal devices, storing large amounts of private information that app developers would love to access. We feel Clueful is one of the most useful and valuable tools available to consumers and are excited to relaunch it," said Bitdefender's Chief Security Researcher, Catalin Cosoi. "We're releasing Clueful as a comprehensive, fully-featured guide to iOS apps with added social features and are preparing further advances for this new technology. There will be much more about Clueful coming soon."
Bitdefender said that it continues to work with Apple to bringing the initially approved and later pulled Clueful back on the App Store.
On the web: Clueful.
