About Privacy Protection

You can hide your confidential contacts and all related calls history and text message correspondence using the Privacy Protection component.

Privacy Protection is available only in the premium version of Kaspersky Internet Security.

Privacy Protection allows the following actions:

• Create a list of confidential contacts whose details you want to hide.
• Hide data about selected contacts in the phonebook, incoming text messages that have been read, text messages that have been sent, and text message drafts, as well as contact info in phone logs.
• Block incoming text message notification signals and calls from selected contacts (in this case the caller hears a "busy" tone).

To view incoming calls and text messages for a period when personal data hiding is enabled, you have to disable data hiding. If you re-enable data hiding, your private data becomes hidden again.

You can enable data hiding in the following ways:

• In the app, by changing its settings.
• Remotely, using an SMS command sent from the Kaspersky Internet Security interface on another device.
• Remotely, using the My Kaspersky portal.

You can block or allow remote data hiding on your device. If remote data hiding is blocked on the device, the function cannot be launched remotely using an SMS command.

You can disable data hiding only in the application installed on your device.

Access to Privacy Protection settings is protected with a secret code.
