Location Privacy
- I NO LONGER HAVE TIME TO MAINTAIN
- SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.
INTRODUCTION:Control over personal information is your universal human right and PlaceMask Location Privacy for Android™ assists you in maintaining location privacy against threats accessing your GPS and Network location (e.g. location-based advertising and profiling apps).
We are focused on delivering technologies that reduce location leakage from on-board GPS and Wireless Network location sources to protect your privacy. Your mobile carrier may still know where you are (roughly) but the applications on your device will not. If you want to anonymize your IP address, consider also using a proxy.
We also recognize a number of other uses for this technology when combined with your location-based apps (e.g. including virtual tourism and misrepresentation).
You will find this a useful companion to: Angry Birds and Carrier IQ (privacy), Wikitude and Google Places (tourism), or Facebook and Foursquare (spoofing).
To learn more about the ways your location is determined and what you can do to stop it, please visit our website at http://www.PlaceMask.com
KEY FEATURES:
• Three privacy settings (minimum, medium, maximum) that monitor settings, replace real location, and randomize movement to enhance privacy
• Scans applications on your device and reports those that use your location with context menu convenience functions
• Provides a status view of your "current" location and the policies in force
• Runs as a resident service that always watches for location leakage
• Easy unmasking to use real location when you need it (e.g. simply tap the PlaceMask to start and stop)
• Remote control through SMS to start or stop service (e.g. for use with Phone Finders)
N.B. UNINSTALL PlaceMask Location Privacy TRIAL before running this standard version
QUICK TEST:Activate PlaceMask service at the medium privacy level then switch to another location-based app to view your device in a new location.
FUNCTIONALITY:PlaceMask Location Privacy for Android™ is an application that protects your location privacy. It monitors the location settings of your device and provides replacement locations to the other applications to enhance your privacy. You may view the current status of the application through key settings overlaid onto a map view. You may access a list of alerts related to the operation of the application or retrieve a report of all the applications on your device that use your location in some way. The settings in PlaceMask Location Privacy allow you to adjust application parameters like privacy levels. You may find general information about the application, its license, and its authors in the about dialog. And of course, we have provided an easy way for you to recommend PlaceMask Location Privacy to a friend or colleague by launching a text message from the application.

Oh how technology never ceases to amaze me... and the great intellectual minds that can create such amazement will forever leave me speechless and astonished.... Oh did I mention how hard I am to please as well as one long winded, descriptive, observant person that usually never shuts up? Truly extraordinary technology and nice work on the app. I haven't come across any bugs, glitches, problems or privacy issues so far. You are one of the intellectual minds I admire. Thanks for creating a Mobile VPN app ;)
Does What It Says It Will Do. Period. An excellent app, with no negative attributes On Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.04, in my experience.
I installed this app last night. And couldn't get the map screen to work ( Grey screen only). Completely user error ( My fault). Developer options set incorrectly. Lol. Emailed developer. Received a response within 8 hours. Pleasantly surprised. Works exactly as described. Well done. Totally worth the few dollars spent. ;-) Highly recommend!!!!!
Does not work in android 6 and above! The developer has not done updates for app since 2013! And from description is trying to sell the app. DONT SUPPORT as the app will be useless on any newer phone you install on.
I guess it works as claimed. 5 stars when I can edit my settings. On Galaxy S7 Marshmallow
Great app and it works well. Glad that I bought I now none of my apps can tell where I am.
Bloody grouse mate, tell ya Mum; thanks for the rabbits.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Android 7.0 won't work! NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE 2012 NEEDS UPDATING!
I like your app the best! Tried the rest but this is what I was looking for. Thanks Dev. Drives people nuts. :-)
Everytime I temporarily allow another app to locate me, it thinks I am where this app tells it.
Actually more than i expected. Good job lads.
Google overrides this app eventually
UNABLE TO HAVE MAXIMUM SECURITY ENABLED.
No longer maintained. Don't bother.
I think it's an excellent app for types of undercover and investigative work. Only issue is, it kills the ability to use gps on your phone. If there is a way to adapt it for cellphone gps navigation use, it would be a 5 all the way.
