Study: Cellphone Users Concerned about App Privacy
More than half of Americans who use smartphone apps say they have decided against installing one after they found out how much personal data they would have to share, according to a study released Wednesday from the Pew Internet & American Life project.
According to an article from the Associated Press, these apps include maps, games and other programs, which, in some instances, want to know a person’s location using the phone’s GPS function.
