Citrix Secure Access app in a managed Work Profile or Device Profile:
• If you are deploying Citrix Secure Access app in a managed Work Profile or Device Profile, it uses QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission. This permission is used by enterprise administrator to provision managed VPN configurations. A managed VPN configuration allows controlled access to the VPN session from specific applications on your Android device from the Work Profile or the Device Profile. It is also advised to pre-grant POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission to Citrix Secure Access app so that it can show VPN status and Push notifications to the user on Android 13 and later devices.
Typically, Citrix Secure Access app does not collect any personally identifiable data from managed Work Profile. No information from personal profile is accessed.

Languages:
Citrix Secure Access app supports English, German, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese languages
