Wi-Fi Privacy Police prevents your smartphone or tablet from leaking privacy sensitive information via Wi-Fi networks. It does this in two ways:
* It prevents your smartphone from sending out the names of Wi-Fi networks it wants to connect to over the air. This makes sure that other people in your surroundings can not see the networks you've connecte to, and the places you've visited.
* If your smartphone encounters an unknown access point with a known name (for example, a malicious access point pretending to be your home network), it asks whether you trust this access point before connecting. This makes sure that other people are not able to steal your data.
Wi-Fi Privacy Police does not have any negative impact on your battery. In fact, you may see your battery life increase by using this app.

Wi-Fi Privacy Police is an app developed at the Expertise Center for Digital Media, a research institute of UHasselt. It is open source, with its source code being publicly available at https://github.com/BramBonne/privacypolice .
A lot of effort went into making this app work flawlessly. If you, however, run into any problems when using this app, nor the app developers, nor the UHasselt take responsibility. You are encouraged to report any issues at uhasselt.edm.developer@gmail.com or via GitHub at https://github.com/BramBonne/privacypolice/issues/new ; we will try to fix them as soon as possible.
PrivacyPolice now requires the location permission to run. This is because Android 6.0 does not allow access to the list of Wi-Fi networks without this location. PrivacyPolice will *never* collect your information. Please consult the source code at https://github.com/BramBonne/privacypolice if you have any doubts.
Note to those using CyanogenMod: make sure that Privacy Guard is not blocking access to Wi-Fi Privacy Police, as it will then not be able to see the available networks. This will cause Wi-Fi Privacy Police to disable access to all of them.

无线网络隐私警方阻止您的智能手机或平板电脑泄露通过Wi-Fi网络的隐私敏感信息。它这样做是在两个方面:
*它可以防止您的手机发送了Wi-Fi网络,它希望连接到空中的名字。这将确保其他人在你的周围看不到你已经connecte到网络,您访问过的地方。
*如果您的智能手机遇到一个响亮的名字一个未知的接入点(例如,一个恶意接入点故作您的家庭网络),它会询问你是否在连接前相信这个接入点。这将确保其他人都无法窃取你的数据。
无线网络隐私警方不会对电池造成任何负面影响。事实上,你可能会看到您的电池寿命增加使用这个程序。

大量的努力进入让这个程序工作得很好。使用如果,但是,遇到任何问题时,这个应用程序,也不是应用程序开发人员,也不是UHasselt承担责任。我们鼓励您在报告或uhasselt.edm.developer@gmail.com通过GitHub上的https://github.com/BramBonne/privacypolice/issues/new任何问题;我们将努力尽快解决这些问题。
PrivacyPolice现在需要的位置权限运行。这是由于Android 6.0不允许访问Wi-Fi网络的列表,而这个位置。 PrivacyPolice将*永远*收集你的信息。请咨询在https://github.com/BramBonne/privacypolice源代码,如果您有任何疑问。
