The App That Asks Too Much

Mia downloads a free game on her phone.

The game asks for her name, age, and email.

It also wants to see her photos and contacts.

Mia thinks this is strange, because a game does not need her friends' numbers.

She reads the privacy page, but it is very long and hard to understand.

Her brother Leo is a data analyst, so she shows him the app.

Leo says many free apps collect data and sell it to other companies.

Mia decides to delete the game.

She tells her friends to check app permissions too.

Now she always reads the privacy page before she clicks 'agree'.
