[QUOTE="BrokeInBendigo, post: 568822, member: 18943"] They potentially can - it is technically possible for any app to access the Internet and send data anywhere. You need to read the fine print and decide if you trust the app developers. Even if you do, there are many examples recently of companies tracking users even when they say they wont. How can you *know* if your data is being exfoliated? Youll need to monitor the apps traffic. Even then, if they encrypt your data before sending it home, you wont be able to tell what info they are ganking. Basically, trust no one if you are worried. Or fill your app with false data points :) use a code system to indicate which funds are real - something like that. Or use an app that is not intended for prospecting - then it is far less likely that the devs will care what you write in it. Also, a paid service is better than a free one. Google and Facebook track the f$&@ outta ya - the service is free, the money comes from your personal data. Paid services have less incentive to track you. [/QUOTE]
