IF THE APP IS FREE, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT

In case you haven't heard this before, most free apps use or sell your data for several purposes.

How and why your data is collected and used is wide-ranging": Browsing and search history, capturing your financial information, health, and fitness, items you purchase, your location, your list of contacts, and other sensitive information.

Who your information is sold to will vary. Sometimes it's sold to advertisers that want to sell you something. Sometimes it's sold to the highest bidder that intends to improve surveillance.

This post is not meant to cause concern. Instead, it's intended to inform.

We should all be informed.
