Privacy on ios 14
That privacy has become more than evident since the launch of iOS 14 is undeniable. In fact, this version of the operating system may be the one that has contributed the most to the protection of privacy and our data in the iPhone.
Not only because of the privacy labels and the anti-tracking that will come, but because of many other measures implemented by Apple. And, if before we could know what data apps collected thanks to privacy labels, now, thanks to a study, we can know which apps respect our privacy more and which less.
This study shows, without many surprises, the apps that most and least respect our privacy and our data:
The study has several categories. This shows those apps that are safer to use to protect our data, based on the percentage of data shared with a third party and that are used for marketing purposes.
Among them we find apps like Signal, ClubHouse, Netflix or Shazam with a 0% data share for the above purposes. There are also some others like Discord, which only collect and share 2% of our data.
Regarding the apps that collect and share the most data, the study separates them into three categories. These three categories are the apps that share the most data with third parties, the ones that collect the most data for their own benefit, and a set of the two previous ones.
List of the most invasive apps for our privacy
And the truth is that, in these three categories, there are not many surprises. Among the apps that share the most data with third parties, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn are in the Top 3 with the highest percentages, starting with 79% of data collected.
Regarding the apps that collect the most for their own benefit, we find, without surprises, Facebook, Instagram and Klarna And at the general level of data collected and shared, we once again have to Instagram, Facebook, but in third place appears Uber Eats
The truth is that while it's great to know this kind of data, it's not surprising at all that apps are both on the plus side and the minus. What do you think? Has this ranking surprised you in any way?
