About TrackerControl
TrackerControl allows users to monitor and control the widespread, ongoing, hidden data collection in mobile apps about user behaviour ('tracking'). To detect tracking, TrackerControl combines the power of the Disconnect blocklist, used by Firefox, and our in-house blocklist is used, created from analysing ~2 000 000 apps! Additionally, TrackerControl supports custom blocklists. This approach - reveals the companies behind tracking, - allows to block tracking selectively, and - exposes the purposes of tracking, such as analytics or advertising. The app also aims to educate about your rights under Data Protection Law, such the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Privacy and F-Droid
F-Droid builds TrackerControl from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.
No anti-features flagged on the latest F-Droid build.
