An information terminal includes: a nonvolatile storage unit which stores a flag that indicates whether or not the information terminal is in a state in which information leakage should be prevented; a start control unit which starts the information terminal and manages a power source of the information terminal; a device group which operate upon starting of the information terminal; and a device operation control unit which controls operation of at least one of the device group. The device operation control unit controls the at least one device so as to suppress operation that appeals to at least one of the five senses of human being when the flag indicates the state in which information leakage should be prevented.
