Bitdefender has launched Clueful, the world's first app that tells one which iOS apps may be accessing more information than they need. Clueful, which was launched at Apple App Store, identifies potentially misbehaving apps on one’s iPhone, giving the user an inside look at all the information app developers can gather about him.
"App developers can ask for, and receive, access to your precise location, your contact list and more information about you when you install their products on your iPhone. Your iPhone is probably the most personal device you own, holding vast amounts of information about what you do, who you are, and where you go. Clueful tells you what kinds of private information apps can access so you can make an informed decision whether to use that app," said Alexandru Catalin Cosoi, Chief Security Researcher, Bitdefender.
Clueful works by retrieving audit information from the cloud. Clueful will also let user examine an app before installing it, giving the information you need to decide whom to trust with your personal data.
