Lookout spokesman Remi Harrad declined to comment on why the company doesn't offer Privacy Advisor on its iOS app. He also wouldn't comment on why Apple might have removed Clueful from the App Store.

Apps will also have to ask permission before accessing any of these services. Once iOS 6 rolls out, the loss of Clueful will be a moot point.
