Facebook and data
After the news of the last few months about Facebook, we all know how this social network makes money with our data. So far so good. Now comes a bigger problem and that is that there are applications that trade with our data and sell it to them Facebook
It's what The Wall Street Journal just leaked. Various iOS applications are collecting personal data for this social network. All this with the aim of using this information for advertising purposes.
Many times we are not aware that when we download free applications, we expose our data at the cost of being able to enjoy an app or game, without having to pay. That's why we always recommend using native apps or paying for the apps you use the most.
These are the three apps that share your data with Facebook, without your knowledge:
Next we share the apps that send the data to Zuckerberg's company. We do not recommend downloading them and that is why we do not put download links.
Instant Heart Rate:
Heart Rate App
This application surely, if you have been a user of iPhone for a long time, you have downloaded it sometime. With the flash light it detects our heart rate. This data, the app, shared with Facebook without permission and without communicating it to its users.
Flo Menstrual Calendar:
App menstrual cycles
Possibly this app for monitoring the menstrual cycle of women, is one of the most used in the App Store. It has more than 22,000 reviews in the Spanish app store. Well, if you use it, know that your data has been shared with Facebook .
Re altor.com:
App Re altor
This app is not available in Spain, but it is one of the most used real estate apps in the US. To resemble one of our App Store, we could say that it is an app very similar to the Idealista application.
Look at the data that all these tools can send to Facebook. In the case of a Re altor, a very specific profile of our financial situation could even be generated.
Now it is up to you, if you have any installed, to continue having them or to delete them.
If you choose to remove them, tell them that there are many apps in the App Store that can replace them magnificently.
We hope we alerted you to the issue and hope you make your own decisions.
Greetings.
