Mobile game to highlight importance of online privacy

NEW DELHI, INDIA: F-Secure and Mad Croc are working together to bring F-Secure’s Freedome VPN to mobile gaming fans.

Mad Croc is launching a new game in order to grab the attention of the mobile generation, and they’ve integrated Freedome to highlight the importance of online privacy.

Freedome images are included prominently in each of the game’s levels, but the popular privacy and security app can also be used to give players an extra power boost. Players that download Freedome for their iOS or Android device will receive a free in-game armor upgrade, making both their in-game croc and their mobile device more secure.

Downloading Freedome through the game will also allow players that haven’t already installed Freedome to get an extended 3-month free trial for the VPN.

“We want to raise awareness about online privacy in the mobile gaming community,” said F-Secure Executive Vice President, Consumer Security, Samu Konttinen.

Freedome is a one-button VPN that gives people a hassle-free way to encrypt their communications, change their virtual location to access geo-blocked websites and streaming services, and block malicious websites and online tracking attempts.

It is currently available for iOS, Android, Windows PC, OS X, and Amazon Fire devices. The game will launch for iOS and Android devices today and will be released for Windows Phone devices at a later date.
