''Are Your Apps Spying on You? ''

According to the host Asha Tomlinson of the CBC Marketplace documentary that was published on January 6, 2017, this documentary wants to warn us about the dangers of apps stealing our personal data. When we accept the term of agreement without reading them, we are giving them access to personal information about us. To demonstrate it, CBC news reporter created an app to fool the users and to show them how much information they could access just by accepting the term of agreement. Also, thanks to DEF con 24, CBC showed us how easy it is to get hacked, get our information cloned or stolen. To keep our data safe, the host recommends that we go to the app manager and limits what the apps have access to. Finally, Asha Tomlinson suggests that we pay attention to what we are agreeing to and what we are sharing online. Thank you for reading.
