- So, should I turn off location?

[rakhirhif8963]

- I understand, but what should I do?

- What to do? First of all, go to the beach with me, especially since I see that's where you were going, right?

- Yes.

- Well, then we'll mess around with your smartphone.

Three hours have passed. As nice as it is on the beach, it is still better to be at home during siesta, enjoying something cold. And at the same time fiddling with your smartphone.

- So, Lizzie, look. There are several apps on your smartphone that use your location data.

- And for what purpose?

— What do you mean, for what purpose? To sell them to ad providers. After all, it's money. Look. Google's main source of income is advertising, and location-based advertising is especially valuable advertising. At the same time, selling your data is Facebook's main business. And there are third-party apps that do it too.

— Even so?

- Of course! Third-party applications collect all the data they can access. Of course, and for your benefit, for example, you can play this game absolutely free! Well, and then they sell this data to various brokers and intermediaries.


- Unfortunately, this won't help. Data is always collected, regardless of whether you allow it to be collected or not.

- So what should I do?

— You can only reduce the amount of information collected. When you bolivia mobile database an application, you can prohibit it from accessing your location. Either permanently, or allow it only during operation. Or simply delete this application. I suggest saving your photos and videos, contacts and resetting your phone to factory settings, and then setting everything up again, deleting some of your applications. I don’t see any other way out.

— Can you help?

- Certainly.

- Thank you, what would I do without you! So, who was stalking me anyway?

— As far as I understand, this is the developer of the Flashlight app that you installed and which has access to location data.

Do you check which apps ask for access to your coordinates? Always? Check!
