Today we bring you one of the stories we often would like to give, but that should be done. Because when we talk about malware, blotware or malicious apps, our stomachs get stirred up and we already say often Google should take security and privacy into its app store.
It is currently about the results published by researchers from North Carolina State University, University of Illinois and IBM Research, which after analyzing 11,430 applications 15% of this is unclear about the privacy policy and protection of our information.
When I said that, I said Diego
As we can learn from ZDNet, the above research was done with an application called PolicyLint that analyzes the language used in the privacy policies of all the apps described above.
The clear cases are those of all those apps that stated in their policies that they had originally announced that they did not collect personal data later with a few lines below, require them to collect information such as email or username. What are we doing?
Although the researchers' conclusions suggest that most of these apps are of course intended to fool the user, they also noticed that some of the analytics apps had used forms or templates to create a privacy policy. The result is that these conflicting statements have been the result of misinformation, that is, copy and paste of life but misplaced.
We end up warning the general. Install apps from trusted developers and if you read the privacy policy, don't be alone with what the first lines imply as it is proven that many developers are lying to the cause of deceiving us. Google, are you there? Please.
