Cyber Threat Protect uses the Android AccessibilityService API to help protect you against scams and malicious apps. With your permission, the app can monitor on-screen content and interactions to detect phishing pages, fake overlays and other suspicious behavior, and then warn you or block the threat. The AccessibilityService is used only to provide these security and fraud-prevention features and does not use accessibility data for advertising or marketing purposes.
