A simple game wants your contacts, photos, and location. What is the privacy-smart response?
Deny permissions it does not need, or delete the app.
- Deny unneeded permissions or delete the app ✔
- Allow everything because the app store approved it
- Allow everything, since you cannot change it later
Why: Apps can ask for location, contacts, or photos even when those details are not needed. Check phone privacy settings and turn off unnecessary access. An app demanding many unrelated permissions may not be worth keeping.
Huh, didn't know that: Phone privacy settings can show which installed apps can reach your contacts, photos, and location.
If you want a job in the moisturizer industry, the best advice is to apply daily.
