## Description

AVG Mobile Security offers a suite of privacy features for on-the-go protection. Identity Protection notifies you immediately if passwords linked to your account are leaked, while the Photo Vault keeps private photos encrypted and accessible only via PIN or biometrics. It also automatically checks your current Wi‑Fi network for safety.

A Premium VPN provides secure, private browsing wherever you are. Note VPN availability is restricted in India due to local regulations; refer to the subscription terms for trial periods and auto-renewal details, and consult the Privacy Policy and Terms at AVG's site.
