Flyme 9 Privacy Protection
We often grant many permissions when we use our phones daily. Many information, even without authorization, can be accessed by apps. We don’t realize that apps may learn a lot about our privacy, such as gender, age, workplace, hobbies, etc., through this information. This kind of privacy violation is becoming more and more widespread and a social issue of great concern.
Flyme 9 has always attached great importance to the protection of user privacy and has introduced several privacy protection features, which are well received by users. But we know that can’t let up for a moment. Today, Flyme 9, has upgraded privacy protection capabilities significantly and brought users four privacy guarding treasures. This time, Flyme provides a “Privacy Risk Self-Test” app for all Android phones to help you understand privacy risks more easily.
Guardian Scepter:
- Notification authorization inquiry: when you open the app for the first time, the system notification authorization asks if the app is allowed to send notifications.
- Networking authorization inquiry: Before the application uses the networking permission, it needs to get the user’s consent.
- Local network authorization: All applications scanning local networks need to get the user’s consent beforehand.
- AI interception: Intelligent identification of application launch behavior, normal launch release, interception of malicious launch; if the user’s real intention cannot be accurately known, ask the user and let the user decide.
All-seeing Eagle Eye:

Invisible wonderful boots:

- Fuzzy positioning: fuzzy positioning function based on differential privacy technology, which only allows the app to access the approximate location, greatly reducing the accuracy of location information is obtained
- Photo privacy management: When an app tries to read a picture, the system asks whether to allow reading private information in the photo. If you choose to reject it, the app can only read the photo and cannot get the privacy information inside the photo.
Privacy cloak:

- Clipboard privacy protection: deny apps to read or write to clipboard automatically, only copy and paste manually, apps are allowed to access the clipboard.
- Mobile storage: Activate a more comprehensive and strict sandbox mechanism, each app can only access files within a specified range.
- Limited access to the gallery: which one to send, which one to authorize; we will also give obvious hints when the app is reading photos.
