Is Your Personal Information Safe On Health Apps?

Health Apps have become critical to our daily lives but do you know if your personal information is shared? I recently read that some Apps use your information for research, or sell the information to a third party. Everyone needs to know how their personal information is used, there are enough security risks in life.

Be sure to read the Privacy Policy of any App that collects sensitive information. I’ve written several posts about Health Apps and didn’t know information sharing was an issue at the time. Now I’m informed and so are you.

 

Read the Privacy Policies of all Apps that capture your personal information. You don’t want an App that is a front for gathering information and passing it along.
