When you download genApp you get a lightweight Mobile Framework used to load mobile apps written using the genApp API called genApps. While it can not protect you from apps you get from the app store the framework provides managed paths, for all genApps, to hardware access as well as to data storage. All genApps have to pass data to the genApp Mobile Framework, regarding data storage and hardware functions, at which point the genApp Mobile Framework completes the task. If a request is made by a genApp that is not part of the genApp API it is ignored by the genApp Mobile Framework. For example if a genApp needs to save data to your device to achieve a particular function it has to pass the data to the Mobile Framework, at which point the Mobile Framework saves the data in the correct place on the device. When the genApp needs the data back it requests it from the Mobile Framework, which goes to the correct location, gets the data, and passes it to the genApp that requested it. This data would be for app functionality and not personal data. The Mobile Framework is designed to only provide data from your device that the genApp saved in the past. This way there is no digging through the data on your device to see what's there. While genApp does utilze the camera, to scan QR Codes, and GPS, to evaluate geographical usage trends. A call to the genApp API to turn the camera on will only enable a button that you can push, which is part of the Mobile Framework, and the genApp has to listen for the result. This way the genApp can't turn on your camera to watch you, and listen in on you, while your sitting in the privacy of your own home. Once you close genApp it actually closes, nothing is taking place in the background, GUARANTEED!
