(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In today's era of internet, privacy is slowly becoming more and more of a dinosaur in the sense that it's going extinct. Phones are now one of the biggest sources that companies are getting more and more information from us by thr day. The sad part is, it's right under our noses too. From agreeing to a TOS document, to allowing an app to know our current location, data is constantly being sent back without us even knowing. While there may not be a way to always stop this and be conscious of what's going on, there is a new service being rolled out that may enlighten you a little bit more about what exactly you're using on your smartphone.

It's called, "You must login or register to view this content.." This service, "... enables you to detect and control this leakage of personal data quickly and easily." In a nutshell, it allows smartphone users to examine all the data that apps transfer, and alerting them when sensitive information, such as his name or email address, is transferred.

You must login or register to view this content.


"It’s a platform-agnostic interception tool that you can use on your Android, iOS, Blackberry, or Windows device," says Ashkan Soltani, an independent privacy researcher who created Mobilescope with fellow researchers David Campbell and Aldo Cortesi.

Another good part of this is that it's accessed through a site, making it more versatile and convenient. Once you You must login or register to view this content., you can see all the logs of data transferred, and what apps are exactly doing other than what you downloaded them for.

As of now, it's still in beta so we've yet to see what this site will be when completely up and ready. Be sure to sign up now and test it out for yourself!
