Every time you make a call or send a message on your mobile phone, you are making a transaction in which personal data about you is transferred over the air. This makes your data sensitive, and it is important that you understand how this personal data can be used and what you can do to protect yourself. Information about your mobile phone service provider and phone manufacturer, as well as information about your wireless carrier and the location of your phone, are being recorded by your provider and shared with the company that makes your phone. By examining this data, both companies can target ads to you based on your location and your phone’s features. They also can learn more about you, enabling them to make a better-informed decision about how much to charge you for your phone service and whether to provide you with a discount on your phone.
The more data your phone provider collects, the more it can track your movements and serve you advertisements. For instance, if you have a targeted advertising app on your phone that uses your GPS coordinates to update, it could use that information to serve you additional ads related to your location. Because of the amount of data that is available to companies with your mobile phone service, your provider may be able to target ads to you even if you have turned off targeted ads for your email and social media accounts. You have more control over your privacy on your phone than you do with most other devices.
If you’re tired of searching through menus and hunting for privacy settings, here are a few things you can do to help protect your privacy when you’re making calls and sending messages with your mobile phone.
Turn on your phone’s Do Not Disturb feature. By default, the feature will block any incoming calls and messages, allowing you to avoid notifications and sounds until you’re ready to accept them.
If you use the calendar on your phone, you can manage which events send notifications to you. By default, most apps will send notifications about new messages and calls, but you can change the settings for some apps to only send notifications when you’ve been silent for a period of time.
Block a number from calling or texting you if you’re not interested in hearing from them. If you have a mobile phone number, many mobile phone service providers will allow you to block a specific number from calling or texting you. Most providers have a website or app where you can manage your contacts 3125841983
