Privacy Protection

You can hide your confidential contacts and all related call history and SMS correspondence using the Privacy Protection component.

Privacy Protection is available only with the premium version of Kaspersky Internet Security on devices with an inserted SIM card.

Privacy Protection supports the following functions:

To view incoming calls and text messages for a period when Privacy Protection was enabled, you must disable Privacy Protection. If you re-enable Privacy Protection, your confidential information is again hidden.

You can enable Privacy Protection:

  • in the app, by changing its settings;
  • remotely, by using an SMS command sent from a different mobile device;
  • remotely, using My Kaspersky.

Data hiding through My Kaspersky is only available for regions of the United States and Great Britain.

You can send a standard SMS message with a special code or send an SMS message from Kaspersky Internet Security if the app is installed on the other device.

You can allow or block Privacy Protection from being remotely started on your device. If the remote start of Privacy Protection is blocked, the function cannot be launched remotely using an SMS command.

You can disable Privacy Protection only in the application installed on your device.

Access to Privacy Protection settings is protected with a secret code. The secret code is specified during initial configuration of Anti-Theft or when Privacy Protection is opened for the first time.
