How Apps Use Data
Listen to this episode with one of these apps:

There’s no such thing as a free app or website. If you’re not paying for a product, you are the product, and when it comes to “free” apps, the product is your private information. Apps collect, store, and use data in ways that are both purposeful and nefarious. In this episode, Rob and Tim chat about why apps collect data and how it’s used, how app owners can be intentional with user data, and how app users can protect their information.


In this episode, you will learn:



  • What types of data apps collect

  • The ways apps utilize this data, for good and bad

  • How app owners can be intentional with the data they collect

  • What tools are available to protect your data


This episode is brought to you by The Jed Mahonis Group, where we make sense of mobile app development with our non-technical approach to building custom mobile software solutions. Learn more at https://jmg.mn.
