In der `App Lounge`, dem Standard /e/ OS App Store, kann jeder seine Lieblingsapps auf Datensicherheit überprüfen. Eingebaute Tracker und notwendige Berechtigungen werden angezeigt, damit jeder sie einsehen und selbst entscheiden kann.



## Was sind Tracker und Berechtigungen?



`Tracker` sind kleine Programme, die in Apps eingebaut werden, um Daten zu sammeln, wie und wo du diese App benutzt, damit auf dich abgezielte Werbung gezeigt werden kann.



`Berechtigungen` sind Vorgänge, die von der App auf dem Telefon ausgeführt werden kann, z.B. auf Kontakte oder SMS zugreifen oder gewisse Einrichtungen zu benutzen, wie die Kamera oder das Internet.



To help everyone judge the safety of an application regarding data leakage and application access before installing it on their phone, each app in App Lounge gets a privacy score.



Scoring is based on 2 criteria:



  - Trackers embedded in the application

  -	Permissions required by the application



## The calculation algorithm



The score is a rating out of 10 combined with a colour code from red to green. The higher the numeric value, the safer the application is for the user.

As mentioned above the amount of permissions and trackers found in an application combine to form the application’s privacy score:



{% include alerts/tip.html content="Privacy score = value derived from Trackers + value derived from Permissions" %}





- the number of trackers makes the main part of the scoring. It is based on [reports computed by Exodus Privacy](https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/list/) we access via an API.



- the number of permissions makes up the remaining part of the scoring. It is also based on [reports computed by Exodus Privacy](https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/list/).



### Value as derived from Trackers.

  -	0 tackers : tracking score = 9

  -	1 tracker : tracking score = 8

  -	2 trackers : tracking score = 7

  -	3 trackers : tracking score = 6

  -	4 trackers : tracking score = 5

  -	5 trackers : tracking score = 4

  -	6 or more trackers : tracking score = 0





### Value as derived from the Permissions

  - 1 Point : one to five permissions

  -	0 points : more than five permissions



The source code of the Privacy Score’s computing algorithm is available [here](https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/apps/-/blob/main/app/src/main/java/foundation/e/apps/PrivacyInfoViewModel.kt#L78).

The logic for calculating the Privacy Score will be improved further based on feedback and after observing it in practice.



## The Privacy Score’s limits



The Privacy Score is an help provided to App Lounge’s users but it has its limits. For instance:

 -	If an application does not use any trackers but has other ways to collect its user’s data it can have a good even excellent Privacy Score whereas the user’s privacy is not observed.

 -	It cannot say if the permissions requested by the application are legitimate.





## Feedback and Suggestions

We welcome suggestions and feedback to improve /e/ Operating System. You can log improvement issues [in GitLab](https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues) or send your comments to <helpdesk@e.email>.
