购物应用知道得太多了
When Maya downloaded a free shopping app last month, she only wanted to buy a new pair of shoes.
During the sign-up, the app asked for her location, her contacts and even her photos.
Maya clicked "agree" without reading the long message, because she was in a hurry.
A few days later, she noticed something strange.
The app knew her favourite colours and the names of her friends, and it sent her ads at midnight, when she was usually asleep.
Curious and a little worried, Maya opened the privacy settings to see what was happening.
She found that the app was collecting data about her calls and saving it on a server far away.
"Why does a shoe shop need my call history?" she asked herself.
Maya decided to delete the app and told her classmates about it.
Her teacher then invited a guest speaker to talk about data safety.
The speaker explained that free apps often sell user data to other companies.
Since that lesson, Maya always reads the privacy page before she downloads anything new.
