📦 Installed Apps Consent Policy

This section explains the user consent policy for collecting the list of installed applications from a monitored device using the MyPhones Agent app.

✅ Purpose of App Inventory Monitoring

Tracking installed apps is used for:

• Monitoring the use of unauthorized or inappropriate applications

• Understanding app usage trends on a child or employee’s device

• Security auditing of installed software

📄 Scope of Collected Data

When enabled, the Agent app may collect:

• App name and package name

• Version code and version name

6. Only the authorized Admin account may view this data.

7. Data is used only for informational and auditing purposes.

8. Users can disable app monitoring from the Admin dashboard.
