Selecting data to hide

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

By default, the app hides the following data for private contacts:

• Phonebook entries
• Text messages that have been read or forwarded and drafts of text messages
• Call history entries

If a private contact sends a text message, by default the app displays the message without showing the contact's phone number. If a private contact makes a call, the app allows the incoming call but does not display the contact's phone number.

You can select which data to hide. For example, you can completely hide incoming text messages and calls from private contacts. In this case, the app blocks text message notifications and calls from private contacts (the caller hears a "busy" tone).

To select which information to hide:

1. Open Kaspersky Internet Security quick launch panel.
2. Tap Privacy Protection.
3. Enter the app's secret code.

   If you forget the secret code, you can recover it.

4. Set the Privacy Protection switch to OFF.
5. Tap > Privacy Protection > Advanced settings > Information to hide.
6. Select checkboxes next to the types of data you want to hide for private contacts.
7. Open Kaspersky Internet Security quick launch panel, tap Privacy Protection, and turn the Privacy Protection switch to ON.
