La privacy and information protection of mobile device users has been in question almost since their arrival. Many users have shown concern about the treatment that manufacturers and developers make of our private information. For this reason, companies as large as Apple have always shown (at least for the gallery) a firm decision against the vulnerability of user data.
Google has been working on a more secure Android for years for the enormous number of users that it adds. For this it is in full development of an anti-tracking function that will protect your users around the world against applications with dubious intentions. The main idea, limit data collection by Apps developed by third parties and implement privacy to the taste of each consumer.
Google continues to bet on privacy on Android
When we talk about big technology, comparisons are completely unavoidable. Apple has been working for a long time with a function in the privacy of its Apps It limits the possible malicious intentions of the developers. Thanks to Transparency Tracking App, everyone developers that intend to "borrow" data or information from users, they have the obligation to notify in one way or another in the application itself.
Google I wouldn't go that far in this regard, but works at full speed form them to implement a similar function in Android. Among other objectives, there would be allow advertising to be targeted to the user in a more generic way and not so individualized. Something that is sometimes uncomfortable and gives the feeling of being quite "controlled." Through a statement, Google states that it is trying to find the tan complicated balance between advertising included in the Apps and a high level of privacy For the users.
Knowing that Google works to offer us an Android that offers a more secure user experience is always good news. But he faces a task that does not seem easy. The search giant will try to offer an Android operating system where cross-app tracking and data collection is exponentially limited. And that it is the user himself who sets the limits necessary for a more secure experience. Do you think this is possible today?
