    Hello @zakk2115,

    Taken from this article:

    https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/19987/

    What does Bitdefender Mobile Security need each permission for?

    • Internet access: used for cloud communication.
    • Read phone state and identity: used to detect if the device is connected to the internet and to extract certain device info needed to create a unique ID when communicating with Bitdefender cloud.
    • Read and write browser bookmarks: The Web Protection module deletes malicious sites from your browsing history.
    • Read log data: Bitdefender Mobile Security detects traces of threat activities from the Android logs.
    • Location: required for remote location.
    • Camera: required for Snap photo.
    • Storage: used to allow the Malware Scanner to check the SD card.

    I hope the information is helpful.

    Regards
