Selecting data to hide
Privacy Protection is available only in the premium version of Kaspersky Internet Security.
By default, the app hides the following data for confidential contacts:
- Phonebook entries.
- Read or forwarded text messages, and text message drafts.
- Call history records.
If a confidential contact has sent a text message, by default the app displays the message in incoming text messages from this contact without showing the contact's phone number. If a confidential contact makes a call, the app allows the incoming call without showing the contact's number.
You can change the type of data to hide. For example, you can enable the hiding of incoming text messages and calls from confidential contacts. In this case, the app blocks incoming text message notification signals and calls from confidential contacts (in this case the caller hears a "busy" tone).
To select the information to hide:
- On the quick launch panel in the main window of Kaspersky Internet Security, tap Privacy Protection.
- Enter the secret code for the app.
If you forget the secret code, you can recover it.
- Toggle the Privacy Protection switch to OFF.
- Tap
> Privacy Protection > Advanced settings > Information to hide. - Select check boxes next to those types of data that you want to hide for private contacts.
- Return to the main screen, tap Privacy Protection and toggle the Privacy Protection switch to ON.
