6. Store Loyalty Applications – Don’t Compromise Your Privacy?
All current companies, restaurants, bars, bookstores or department stores today offer an application to their customers with unique and exclusive offers, such as a loyalty card, flexible forms of payment, such as payment by PayPal, bank transfer or debit card; and other types of unique and unmissable advantages. However, in reality, they all try to gather all the information about you and then flood you with advertising about their products and services. You, in turn, are providing them with all the information, purchasing habits, and forms of payment you use, and this poses a huge risk to their privacy and security. Hackers love to hack applications to access this type of information and, of course, to profit from it. And they do it easily because their payment information is spread all over the internet and that offers them a greater attack surface.
7. All Types of Applications That Violate Data Privacy
There are countless applications that we use on a daily basis that are quite useful and help us in carrying out our tasks or fulfilling our goals. However, this is the most used reason for developers of these types of applications to improperly seize your data. And you must be aware of that. There are mobile applications, such as health apps, that require numerous permissions and are full of invasive ads, for example. They register your IP, store your security password, monitor the way you eat, sleep, exercise (any fitness app can do that), and other forms of control. And all of this is power. And this kind of power can fall into the wrong hands if you are not careful and there could be irreversible damage. These are the 7 types of apps you stop installing on your phone. Otherwise, you risk seeing your life destroyed right in front of your eyes. Installing an app is, at the outset, a trivial and insignificant act, but the truth is that mobile applications are an excellent gateway for everyone who wants to harm you and take what is yours. And hackers are experts at this and will attack you if you let your guard down. Always remember that!3
