Recently, The Wall Street Journal has examined 50 popular apps (games and other software) on each of the iPhone and Android operating systems to see what details (about you and your phone) these apps sending to outsiders while you running. The result was interesting.
Some apps collect information including your location, unique serial-number-like identifiers for the phone, and personal details such as age and sex. Apps routinely send the information to marketing companies that use it to compile dossiers on phone users.
Wow, why would an app send out my username & password ?!
That’s just crazy, I can’t think of any reason to do that!
Hi, Kartik, you’re most welcome.
