Abstract
Embodiments of this application relate to a method and a device for protecting privacy. The method includes: sending, by a remote terminal, a first message to a mobility management entity by using a relay terminal, where the first message includes first identity information of the remote terminal, and the first message is used by the mobility management entity to obtain an international mobile subscriber identity IMSI of the remote terminal based on the first identity information of the remote terminal, where the first identity information is a proximity service relay user key identity PRUK ID. Because the first identity information is used to replace the IMSI, interception of the IMSI by the relay terminal is avoided, and user privacy is protected.
