I have been using Malloc: Privacy & Security for a few months now, and it is a pretty decent application for my concerns about privacy and security. It makes it easier for me to preserve the privacy and security of my mobile device and, therefore, consider it a safe device for the internet. Locally, through a VPN, I can connect to any network without compromising my security, including using networks with public Wi-Fi. Likewise, it has a very easy-to-use interface, which makes it ideal for both professional and normal users. Personally, I think the app has strong mobile security that one would consider downloading.
ON-DEVICE VPN DATA SHIELD
I am especially impressed with this app. A local VPN helps you encrypt your internet traffic right on your device, helping to protect your data from intruders and hackers. Thanks to that, I can safely and privately access the internet anywhere, even when using public wifi networks.
- Improved Privacy: The app keeps its data on the device instead of sending it out to the server. This helps me ensure that my personal information is not illegally collected or shared.
- Faster Browsing: Experience faster and more private browsing without relying on an external VPN service. I can access the internet smoothly and quickly without worrying about being tracked or data collected.
INSTANT ALERTS
I really like the way that Malloc does “Instant Alerts.” Actually, this feature has been beneficial because I can get immediate notifications whenever an app wants to gather or disseminate my private data, enabling me to stay on guard at all times and hence take action to safeguard my identity details promptly in case of anything unexpected that may happen. For instance, there was one moment when some application tried to switch on the camera without asking me for permission. But it happened that I had activated “Instant alert”; hence, I just turned it off.
- Real-time Notifications: The app always notifies you when it detects threats such as spyware, malicious advertising, and phishing. Thanks to that, I can proactively protect myself from potential dangers on the internet.
- Take Quick Action: When it detects a threat, you can easily take action to block the threat and protect your device. For example, we can block malicious apps, turn off advertising notifications, and report fraudulent websites.
- Greater Awareness: It helps us increase awareness about security and privacy issues. Thanks to that, I can use the internet more safely and intelligently.
NO-LOGS POLICY
I appreciate Malloc’s no-logs policy. This policy ensures that it does not store any personal information about itself or its application usage. Thanks to that, I can safely use this app without worrying about being tracked or illegally collecting data. Additionally, it uses open-source code, allowing security experts to examine the application’s code and ensure that it does not store any logs.
- Respects Privacy: It is committed to respecting your privacy with a strict no-logs policy. I feel completely secure when using it without worrying about being tracked or recording personal data.
- No Browsing History: Browsing history, traffic, and communications are never logged or stored. It never records or stores its browsing, traffic, and communication history. I can freely access the internet without worrying about my online activities being tracked.
- Added Peace of Mind: It gives me peace of mind, knowing that my activities are not recorded. I can use the internet freely and privately without worrying about my privacy being violated.
MONITOR APP DATA USAGE
One of the features I like most about this app is the Monitor App Data Usage. It allows me to monitor how much data each application consumes on my device be it via mobile network or via wifi. Thanks to this feature, I can easily determine which applications are using the most data. From there you can adjust how you use the application or uninstall unnecessary applications to save data.
- See Data Access: It allows you to see which applications are accessing or sharing your personal data. Thanks to that, I can know which applications are collecting my data and using that data for what purpose.
- Identify Risky Apps: The app helps you identify apps that consume data and may pose a privacy risk. Thanks to that, I can limit the use or delete these applications to protect my data.
- Understanding Data: It also helps me to understand how the data I provide is used across applications. This provides us with enough information for decision-making on whether or not to share data.
- More Data Control: It lets you better manage your information and your privacy. It is very convenient to set privacy levels for each app and control how much my data is used.
