Hello

Could someone inform me why mobicips "can collect all of the text you type, except passwords. This includeds personal data such as credit card numbers. It can also collect data about your interactions with the phone".

Best regards

Re: Collection of information

Hello Stefansdottir

We see that you contacted our Email Support reg the same concern. We are copy/pasting our reply to you here so that it can be helpful for other users.

'Please note that Mobicip is itself a browser and you can choose to use it for this purpose alone. The other permissions are being requested because the app comes with additional features such as App Monitoring and App Restrictions. App Monitoring allows you to keep an eye on the apps installed on the device, remotely from a web interface. App Restrictions can be used to restrict other browsers and apps that access the internet from being used to circumvent Mobicip's filtering. Since these functions require 'Device Administrator' privileges, the app requires all kinds of permissions during installation. Please be aware that Mobicip does not use all of the permissions requested, but as an app requiring device administrator privileges, it can potentially do so and therefore Google enforces the opt-in permission requirement.'
