Turn off personalized ads, history and location in every app

Discretion is yours.

Your apps personalize your ads, keep your history and note your location. Here is what TrueTo sets so apps know less about you.

TrueTo on a phone, showing what it sets for Discreet.

Your apps build your ads from what you do and keep what you watch, search and visit. TrueTo sets each of them so they know less about you.

Personalized ads

YouTube, TikTok and Spotify’s free tier build your ads from what you watch, do and listen to. TrueTo sets each off.

TrueTo on a phone, showing What businesses send set for Discreet.

What businesses send

Other businesses send Instagram and TikTok your purchases, site visits and app activity, for ads. TrueTo sets TikTok to disconnect them and clear what they sent; Instagram only lists them.

TrueTo on a phone, showing Advertising ID set for Discreet.

Advertising ID

Android gives your phone an advertising ID that lets ad networks follow you from app to app. TrueTo sets your phone to delete it.

TrueTo on a phone, showing Watch and search history set for Discreet.

Watch and search history

YouTube keeps what you watch and what you search, and both tell it and its advertisers what interests you. TrueTo sets each off. What YouTube already saved stays until you clear it.

TrueTo on a phone, showing Web and app activity set for Discreet.

Web and app activity

Google Maps opens a setting of your Google account that saves your searches, the sites you visit and what you do in apps, in Search, YouTube and Chrome as well. TrueTo sets it off for all of them at once.

Stop your phone and your apps noting where you are, even while Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is off or Maps is closed.

TrueTo on a phone, showing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning set for Discreet.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning

Android lets apps and services scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices, which tell them where you are. TrueTo sets each scan off.

TrueTo on a phone, showing Timeline set for Discreet.

Timeline

Google Maps keeps a record of the places you go, and that record feeds the ads you see. TrueTo sets it off.

Let less of what you do reach Google, ad networks and sites you haven’t opened.

TrueTo on a phone, showing Third-party cookies set for Discreet.

Third-party cookies

Chrome lets sites other than the one you’re on leave cookies that follow your browsing from site to site and pass it to ad networks. TrueTo sets Chrome to block them.

TrueTo on a phone, showing Preloading set for Discreet.

Preloading

Chrome loads pages it expects you to open next before you tap, so sites you never visit can receive your IP address and cookies. TrueTo sets preloading off.

TrueTo on a phone, showing Usage and diagnostics set for Discreet.

Usage and diagnostics

Android sends Google reports on how you use your phone and when apps crash, with details of your device and its battery. TrueTo sets the reports off.
