Mypermissions
An app that lets you scan, track, and control how applications see your personal information. This app lets you know what apps are accessing your personal data. It can tell you what apps you are connected to Facebook, Google, and Twitter to name a few, and what permissions they have. If you want to make sure your personal information is safe and secure, on all applications, then Mypermissions can help.
Mypermissions was created in 2015 by Online Permissions Technology. It has quickly grown to become the top app you can use to make sure all of your information is secure. The app works like this, first you add any online account, such as Twitter or Facebook, then it checks to see what these sites have permission to access. The app then gives you a dashboard that will show an overview of who has access to your data. Then you will be given the option of approving the access the app has, removing the permissions, and you can even report the app.
Pros
Lets You Easily Monitor and Control Permissions: With Mypermissions it is easy to see which apps have access to your information. If you are curious just how much information you are leaking out, then this app can help. With a handy dashboard, you can figure out just how vulnerable you are.
Allows you to set reminders: the app lets you set reminders so that you can remember to check and make sure an app hasn’t recently gotten access to your personal information. We all forget to do things, but this app won’t let you forget. With all the malicious apps out there these days, you need to keep up on what apps have access to your personal information.
Easy To Use: This app does not require a lot of knowledge of computers to use. It makes it easy to find out exactly what applications have access to your personal information.
Cons
Entering Your User Names and Passwords: In order to find out what applications have access to your data, you need to provide the application with your user name and passwords for all the sites you want to check. Although this app reassures you they will not keep any of your personal information, it is still a little weird submitting your personal information to an app which is checking who has access to your personal information.
In Conclusion
The Mypermissions app is a useful application that lets you check to see just how secure all of your information is. When you download an application on your device, you have to accept and give the app some permissions, but these permissions can be hard to remember. With this app you will never be able to forget. If you need to be reminded to check your apps to see if any new apps have been given permissions that you don’t want them to have, then you can set a reminder.
If there are any applications that have permissions that they shouldn’t, you can revoke them. You can even report the app if you believe it is behaving maliciously. So if you want to make sure that all of your personal information is secure online and serious about protecting your identity, then Mypermissions is definitely for you.
