Apps and Privacy

Did you know that there is some of the most popular apps on mobile phone that keeps information in their server for up to 18 months? Thing is most of the users didn't know that. There is more apps everyday on the market and there is no real regulation, there is no law to restrict and to standardize. You've probably already noticed that when you download an application they ask you if they can access your contacts and other personal information. Well, that is the kind of information they can keep in their servers. One of the application is twitter and apple had approved the application.- It doesn't reassure me - Now, everyone is trying to change their policy and want to protect the user more than anything. Can we trust what they say? Most of the time the information is written in small, where you can't see it. All applications should give us the choice. We should have the ability to decide what we wanna share or not. It starts with a privacy statement that we can understand and read.
