Why it matters

Companies use data to sell ads and to train AI. Your phone has a lot of data about you.

Most data is collected where you cannot see it.

Apps collect it in the background. You see only the permission request.

But not all access is bad.

Many apps need access to work. The question is: does the access match the app?

Expected

Maps → Location

A map needs your location to give you directions.

Video calling → Camera & microphone

A video call needs a camera and a microphone to work.

Worth a second look

Messaging app → Local network access

It can find other devices on your Wi-Fi. It can also help to identify you on other apps.

News app → Camera access

This is OK if the app scans documents or codes. If it does not, look at it more closely.

PrivacyBrew does not say that an app is bad. It shows what is unusual for that type of app. Then you decide. See how it works ↓

How it works

Three steps. No setup.

01 · SCAN

Read what Android knows

The app asks Android for your apps and their permissions. It does not open your files.

02 · UNDERSTAND

Explain it in simple words

Each permission becomes a short sentence. Unusual access gets a flag.

03 · ACT

Decide what to do next

Open the correct Android setting, Play Store label or opt-out page. You choose.

Why PrivacyBrew

Many apps list permissions. PrivacyBrew explains them.

Most privacy apps show a list of technical names. PrivacyBrew answers the next question: what does this mean for me?

How it explains

Simple words that tell why it is important

Technical permission names and code names

What it flags

Only access that is unusual for the app

All permissions, all with the same weight

Where your data goes

It stays on your phone. No internet permission.

Many use an online service to get results

What you can do

Links to Settings, Play Store labels and opt-out pages

Usually a list only, with no next step
