Apptics' Privacy Shield: Protect in-app data from unauthorized screen captures

Hello, Apptics community!

Imagine someone suddenly yells "Cheese!", blinding you with flashlights and back-to-back shutter clicks. Sounds scary, right? That's exactly how your users feel when their personal information gets accidentally captured in screenshots or recordings. It's a privacy intrusion they never asked for.

A casual "say cheese" moment can automatically become an "oops" moment for your app. We can help you ensure user information remains private, and avoid potential risks of unintentional data leaks and privacy breaches.

Privacy Shield for iOS and iPadOS apps

The Privacy Shield by Apptics hides the app content from being captured while the app user is taking a screenshot, doing a screen recording, or in a screen-sharing session.

The Privacy Shield feature detects whenever someone takes a screenshot or starts screen recording, and immediately hides information such as personal messages, financial transactions, credentials, and private photos. Or some key UI components of a screen like image views, buttons, labels, and text views. This ensures that the captured image or video does not contain any information that is captured unintentionally, thus enhancing your user's privacy.



The added benefits of using Apptics' Privacy Shield feature:

  • Enhanced user trust: You build trust and confidence in your app by proactively protecting user data. Users appreciate the extra mile you take to protect their privacy.

  • Compliance with regulations: Privacy Shield can help ensure adherence to data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA, which mandate strong user data protection measures.

  • Mitigate security risks: You can significantly reduce the risks of data breach and misuse of user information by preventing the unauthorized capture of any sensitive content within your app.

Apptics' Privacy Shield is easy to set up and available for iOS apps (version 12 and above) and iPadOS apps (version 13 and above). You can follow our SDK guide for a detailed walkthrough.
