What is Trustd?
There are two parts to the Trustd MTD platform used by organisations: The Trustd apps and the Trustd Mobile Threat Defence console.
The apps protect individuals’ phones and tablets. The console is used by your organisation to protect the entire organsiation, by learning about the threats the Traced apps have discovered.
What can my organisation see?
Your personal privacy is as important to us as your organisation’s security. We share the data your organisation needs to keep you and everyone else secure, and nothing more.
Personal mode
If your phone or tablet is enrolled in Personal Mode, the information we may share the following information from your phone or tablet with your organisation:
On Android and iOS:
Information linked to your device
- Device details: make, model, software version and configuration.
- Security statuses: your device’s red, amber or green security statuses.
Organisation-wide website totals
We may also share the total number of suspicious and malicious websites blocked across your organisation. These counts are combined into an organisation-wide total, with no breakdown by individual device or user. This reduces the risk of the information being linked to you or your device.
We do not share the addresses (URLs) of these websites with your organisation.
Corporate Mode
If your phone or tablet is enrolled in Corporate Mode, we may share the following information from your phone or tablet with your organisation:
On Android and iOS
Information linked to your device
- Device details: make, model, software version and configuration.
- Trustd Mobile app configuration: the configuration of the Trustd Mobile app on your device.
- Wi-Fi connections: the names (SSIDs) of Wi-Fi networks your device connects to.
- Website security events: whether your device accesses a suspicious or malicious website. We do not share the addresses (URLs) of these websites with your organisation.
On Android only
Information linked to your device
- High-risk apps: app name, version, installation date, installation source, APK file information, intents and permissions.
- Installed apps: app names.
- Recording events: whether other apps on your device secretly record using your camera or microphone, or record your screen or calls.
Does the app share which websites I visit?
No.
Why does the app ask for location premission?
On Android, location permission is required in order to see the names of any WiFi networks you are connected to. If Trustd detects a rogue WiFi network, it needs location permission in order to tell you the name of the malicious network, so you know which one to disconnect from. Location permission isn’t used for any other purpose and your GPS Coordinates are never shared with Trustd or your organisation.
