looking for a way to block apps from accessing the internet?

[crossj115]

is there an app that can prevent other apps from collecting personal info and/or block other apps from connecting to the internet?

besides the obvious of "uninstalling it", i'm sure someone has already thought of this before and developed one

any suggestions would be appreciated

cheers!

Try DroidWall. It's a free firewall app in the Play Store.

LBE Security should be able to do it as well.

I thought this was built into ICS?

Limiting data usage on a per app basis is part of ICS, yes.
However I dont know if the app collecting personal data would circumvent that or not.
