# Privacy

**Privacy** tools for rooted Android devices - root apps, Magisk modules, KernelSU modules, LSPosed modules and
other tools for improving privacy and controlling data access: hiding private files and apps, preventing
tracking, spoofing your device identity or location, and isolating apps from your data.

> \[!TIP]
> Related: [Security](/apps-and-modules/security.md) tools and [Ad Blocking](/apps-and-modules/ad-blocking.md)
> stop trackers at the network level. See the [Glossary](/apps-and-modules/#glossary) for badge meanings.
