"The Hidden Dangers of Mobile Apps: What They're Not Telling You About Your Data!"

1. Mobile apps often collect extensive personal data without users' knowledge.

[{"selector":"#anim-02d28cd8-72d3-4021-a05e-0647d6da74f2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.172520546912608%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3cec64d1-61da-4db2-b741-2b2d9e1a11c9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0789503e-e54c-4ce6-b5ca-422852e4737b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 131.06197%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: Unsplash

2. Data collected by apps can be sold to third parties.

[{"selector":"#anim-6980a9e5-b3da-4bfe-9c09-67ce934aa394 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-01a883f5-aab6-45dd-87e8-889c9908a73c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ebacb09-519a-4592-8a6c-7458635623e9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 188.38385%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: Unsplash

3. Some apps manipulate user behavior through targeted ads.

[{"selector":"#anim-66cfa707-c9e7-4693-811d-4bf2290d3fb2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(27.499999863470876%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a1eb6a0-519d-4900-8f66-c00efa2c8daf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-68c60df9-da1a-4e40-b5d8-3eb67989191a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.77022%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: Unsplash

4. In-app permissions can grant access to sensitive information.

[{"selector":"#anim-8b3be4c7-18f0-48c6-85f5-4dc35716d3a2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.808563975722041%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c71a981d-9a3b-4392-8ad0-12e67af67585","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5eb09e37-3673-4fe3-8fd2-f2ee95136bda","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 131.06197%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: Unsplash

5. Location tracking by apps raises privacy concerns.

[{"selector":"#anim-c1d19aea-ef37-4baa-a3bb-622ee7ebca74 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-81adc101-90ba-4d7b-beb4-f7ae52cc62dc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-096aad6c-2ef8-456d-9de6-11a12d6f9dee","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 188.38385%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: Unsplash

6. Weak security in apps makes data vulnerable to breaches.

[{"selector":"#anim-b425f8e9-da0c-45cc-831f-d6630654db3d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d31de0ba-78e8-4c5c-9f52-04ef158ca356","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d5d794f-fbab-483a-84b3-05173022969c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.77022%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: Unsplash

7. Malware hidden in apps can compromise devices.

[{"selector":"#anim-a4d0f560-54ea-4d55-8541-5868fbba84cc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.90624987200394%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5b487166-e4eb-4044-83ff-6d9286281cda","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a264b952-4fd1-4392-a718-9960ef5d2c80","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.77022%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: Unsplash

8. App developers sometimes misuse user data for profit.

[{"selector":"#anim-76edb84e-13e8-448b-910b-4fa96981055a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(8.703292657895378%, 0, 0) translate(20.661157024793386%, -5.970052558832171e-7%) scale(1.4132231404958677)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b501677-982a-4709-9458-19627814708a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14d96a90-a532-4c5a-abde-3885d04e7d40","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 188.38385%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: Unsplash
