Multi device privacy

If I give a friend one of my 3 device protection links then would they be able to see stuff like my threat detection history and would they have access to remote options or would our 2 device be completely separate from each other with no way to access info about anything except for our own devices?

    Hi SW

    No, in fact as the license holder of the subscription, and having your Central password, it would be the other way around, you would be the one who sees their devices in your Central account and have control.

    @Gjoksi also does this with some of his family members, and my have an additional thought or two on this :)


    Kind regards,

    Hello.

    My comment here:

    will explain everything to you.

    So, your friend's device will be visible to you, not the other way.

    From your Bitdefender Central account you can see his/her threat history, issues related to the Bitdefender program etc.

    As an owner of the Bitdefedner Central account, you will have full access to the Bitdefender programs installed on other devices that are connected to your Central account. On the other hand, you friend(s) who has/have Bitdefender program installed on his/her device will not have access to your Bitdefender program.

    Regards.

    @Scott Thanks for the heads-up. :)

    And if you copy and paste the link from the bottom of your Bitdefender dashboard, protect more devices install BD on a new device, into your web browser, you will see what your friend will see when you give them the link.

    @Gjoksi thank you for your helpful reply, buddy :)
