If you’re using a mobile device, you know that there are a lot of ways for people to track your location, use your data, and access your camera without your permission.
But did you know that there are also some really easy ways to protect yourself? Let’s talk about how to keep your privacy safe on mobile apps.
Use a VPN
You know that feeling when you’re on a new app and you have to give up all your personal information? It’s kind of like a bad first date: no one has time for that!
But the truth is, privacy settings can be confusing and difficult to navigate. And even if you do figure out how to change your settings, there’s a chance that your information could still get into the wrong hands.
That’s why we recommend using iTopVPN service whenever you’re using an app. A VPN (or Virtual Private Network) allows you to connect to the internet through another network, which means that your data remains private even when it’s being shared with other devices. Think of it as a digital security guard who guards your data wherever it goes even if you decide to share your information with someone else online, like an app developer or a website owner.
Read Terms of Service
Always read the terms of service for any app before signing up for it. If the terms aren’t clear or seem strange, don’t use that app. And if they sound like they ask for more than they should for example, access to your location data when all you need is an alarm clock don’t sign up!
Know how much information a particular app needs
Be aware of how much information an app needs in order to function. If you can use an app without giving it certain information (like location data), don’t give it that information! You might be surprised how many apps actually work just fine without knowing where you are at all times.
Check App Permissions
Check out what permissions an app asks for before downloading it onto your phone or tablet device; then think about whether or not those permissions seem reasonable given what the app does (or doesn’t) do before making a decision about whether or not to download it onto your device in the first place!
Set Password wisely
Use strong passwords on all accounts that require one so that no one can access them without knowing the password first! It’s also important not to use the same password for multiple accounts because if someone gets into one account (like an email address), they’ll have access to all accounts.
Turn Off Location Services
Turn off location services for mobile apps that don’t need them. Location services can give away information about where you’ve been and what stores or restaurants you’ve visited, which can make it easy for thieves to find out where they can rob someone like yourself. Make sure to turn off location services when you don’t need them so that no one will be able to track where you’ve been!
