GPS tracking is a powerful tool: it can be helpful but also dangerous. It is always important to remember how careful we should be with data privacy regarding our families.
For instance, child GPS tracking apps can save a child’s location without him even knowing it. Employee GPS tracking apps can track employees’ location after work hours.
Travel apps can send your location data to third parties, and you never know if your apartment is safe while you are away.
There are good and bad GPS tracking apps. Today we will talk about apps for families to avoid.
Google controls all the apps in Play Store and immediately removes them from the online store which is violating its terms of service. How can these apps hurt us, and why should we be extremely careful while choosing apps ready to download?
These apps allow third parties to access data on your phone: location and other private information. I think it is already enough to think before clicking a download button for the next desired app.
GPS Tracking Apps
This is a list of apps you should avoid too:
- Tik Tok is a Chinese video-sharing social app. Unfortunately, it had major vulnerabilities that caused third parties to access the private data of over 1 billion users.
