Many apps can access your private information on your device (e.g. read your contacts or get your current location). This information is used for various purposes. However, it is often not clear to the end-user what those purposes are. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to see exactly what information the different apps on your device can access.

Additionally, apps often include advertisement and analytic libraries that send away private information to third-party services. Information about those services is often hidden inside a long user-agreement that is not read by the user.


The SRT Privacy Inspector was developed to gain more insight on what private information an app accesses. Therefore, it analyzes which permissions an app uses and how risky those permissions are. Additionally, every app is checked for advertisement and analytic libraries, to inspect which information is send to third-party services.


Features:

- Analyses every app on your device (only free apps on the latest Android versions, since paid apps are not readable).

- Displays information about third-party advertisement and analytic libraries for each app.

- Assigns a 'risk score' to each app (based on the requested permissions).

- Shows statistics about the used advertisement and analytic libraries and what private information they try to access.

- added symbols to indicate if a permission is dangerous or normal
- improved stability
- fixed errors in the license agreement
