HideDroid allows the per-app anonymization of collected personal data according to a privacy level chosen by the user.

In a nutshell, HideDroid collects all the network traffic generated by the invocation of API calls belonging to analytics libraries, and extract the exported data. Then, it anonymizes the personal and device data using a generalization technique, and the data related to the user’s behavior using an approach based on the concept of local differential privacy, in a way that preserves as much data semantics as possible. Finally, the anonymized data are sent to the expected recipients by mimicking the original network calls.

WhatsNew:

to update from a version < 1.3 you will need to uninstall and reinstall the app as the certificate did change

Anti-Features:

ApplicationDebuggable: APK files of this application are compiled for debugging („application-debuggable“). For details, see e.g. What are the security implications of using an app built “for debug”.

Download Source Issues

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
