What grade does your favorite app get?
Forbes’ Parmy Olson published a short article about PrivacyGrade on Tuesday. What is PrivacyGrade?
From PrivacyGrade’s FAQ:
The goal of PrivacyGrade.org is to help raise awareness of the behaviors that many smartphone apps have that may affect people’s privacy. PrivacyGrade provides detailed information about an app’s privacy-related behaviors. We summarize these behaviors in the form of a grade, ranging from A+ (most privacy sensitive) to D (least privacy sensitive).
