With frequent harassment calls and spam text messages, who is leaking our privacy? Recently, the Chongqing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau reported that the Sichuan and Chongqing Communications Administration recently organized a third-party testing agency to inspect mobile Internet applications (APPs) in mainstream application stores in Sichuan and Chongqing, and found that 9 APPs violated the regulations and failed to complete rectification as required.
The 9 illegal apps are: Durian Campus, Lazy Circle Marriage and Romance, New Vision, Neighbor Life, Bashu Cloud School, Palm Pregnancy Doctor, Global Travel Designated Driver, Yibaifen, and Yudi Cloud. The issues involved are illegal collection of personal information, excessive collection of personal information, failure to clearly state the rules for handling personal information, and forced, frequent, and excessive requests for permissions by apps.
The nine apps with problems should complete rectification work before August 6. Those who fail to do so within the deadline will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
The Chongqing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau reminds you to remember to download APPs through official channels and try not to download them from third-party external links. When the APP is not in use, log out of the account or cancel the account authorization in time.
Be cautious when authorizing APP to obtain various permissions, such as microphone, mobile phone address book, photo album, address and other important permissions.
Do not connect to unfamiliar WiFi at will. Some criminals place free Wi-Fi in public places. Once users connect, they will obtain users' privacy information through authentication pages, Trojan programs, etc., which poses a security risk.
Be cautious when submitting personal information when registering and logging in, especially when binding your ID card, bank card, and uploading facial recognition features. You must confirm the security of the APP.
Be cautious when providing personal information to third-party links within the APP, and do not directly download and install apps from unknown sources through third-party links or pages.
Consumers should carefully read their user agreements and privacy policy statements, not arbitrarily open or agree to unnecessary privacy permissions, not arbitrarily enter personal privacy information, and regularly maintain and clean up relevant data to avoid the leakage of personal privacy information.
