Three out of four apps on android track users
Table of contents:
Privacy and the Internet are a complicated combination. Especially since the arrival of smartphones on the market. Since apart from the information that one gives voluntarily, our phone stores a lot of information about us. According to entrepreneurs, it is to show us better ads. But, the reality is that three out of four applications on Android have the ability to track you.
Three out of four Android apps track users
These data have been obtained after a joint study between Yale University and Exodus Privacy. They have analyzed popular applications such as Spotify, Facebook or the Play Store itself. Google has a service called Crashlytics, which is supposed to report app crashes. Although, this service is capable of obtaining information about users to display personalized ads.
Applications that track information
Although this tool is not the only dangerous one that has been detected in this analysis. There is another FidZup call that is more concerning. Since it uses ultrasound to know our location at all times. So even if you don't have location enabled, Android apps know where you are at all times. In addition to having information about your tastes and interests.
In theory, this tracking is legal, as employers "only" want to display personalized ads. But, as always, the question is where our privacy begins and ends. Since users are exposed at all times and our confidential information is obtained for nothing.
So we can see that users make many concessions. But, the only thing that is being done is to obtain as much information as possible about them. So undoubtedly many of these applications for Android are not that they stand out precisely for respecting the privacy of users.
