App Permissions: A word of caution!

Numerous apps possess the capability to gather and share your personal information. To protect your privacy effectively, it's crucial to carefully examine the permissions that each application requests. For instance, what reason could an alarm clock app possibly have for accessing your camera or contacts? By restricting app permissions, you can better safeguard your data.
