It's no secret that installed apps are the perfect tool for collecting user behavior data and serving ads based on it. So, for example, once you turn on geolocation to update the weather forecast, malicious applications will record this information and send it to their servers.

To monitor and block such unwanted leaks of confidential data in real time, you can install the TrackerControl application (https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android). It uses VPN features to locally analyze network connections, thereby providing detailed tracking companies reporting and ad blocking.

For tracking detection, the application combines the blacklist capabilities of the popular Disconnect extension and its own database, created based on the analysis of a large number of applications.
