It uses Android's native work-profile feature to create a separate space for the apps you choose, so you could install the HSBC app there and it wouldn't be able to see anything outside its little bubble.
The downside is that AFAIK you cannot have multiple work profiles on the same phone, so if you have a MDM solution from work already installed like Intune you won't be able to use this, and given how draconian this app is, it might refuse to run if it detects its inside one. Worth a shot though.
This is the type of shit that has me losing faith in Android.
They added a fuck ton of restrictions on Clipboard Access because 'Privacy,' yet this clear privacy violation (with 0 use cases!!!) is still here.
You'd think that they'd create a permission you can toggle at will since they care about protecting you so much right?
Nope. Google's the one who decides who gets to use this capability and your wishes as a user can go to hell.
Unfortunately, the work profile is already used up.
