Security Feature Overview

Protecting your GPS location information

Your BlackBerry® device stores GPS location information. Third-party applications and preloaded BlackBerrydevice applications that support
location-based services can use that GPS location information. For example, you can use BlackBerry® Maps to get the GPS location of your
BlackBerry device. However, third-party applications cannot access your GPS location information automatically.
When applications have access to your GPS location information, they could potentially track your location or report your location back to a
server. To prevent applications from using the GPS location of your BlackBerry device, perform any of the following actions:
•
Block specific third-party applications from using the GPS location information.
•
Block all third-party applications from using location-based services.
•
Turn off GPS technology on your BlackBerry device.
•
Delete the BlackBerry Maps application from your BlackBerry device.

Controlling your downloaded applications

You can download third-party applications for your BlackBerry® device over the wireless network by using the BlackBerry® Browser. A third-
party application can communicate and share data with other third-party applications and BlackBerry device applications. Third-party
applications can also access your calendar entries, email messages, and contacts.
BlackBerry device applications include inherent virus protection and spyware protection that is designed to contain and prevent the spread of
viruses and spyware to other applications.
When you download an application, you are prompted to confirm that you trust the source. If you trust the application, the application is installed
on your BlackBerry device. You can proactively protect your BlackBerry device from viruses and spyware by only downloading applications from
trustworthy sources.
You can use the application controls on your BlackBerry device to prevent the installation of specific third-party applications and to limit the
permissions of third-party applications, including the following items:
•
resources that third-party applications can access (for example, the messages application, phone application, and BlackBerry device key
store)
•
types of connections that a third-party application that is running on your BlackBerry device can establish (for example, local connections,
internal connections, and external connections)
For more information about changing application controls, see the user guide for your BlackBerry device.
