The Privacy Report provides us with a wealth of valuable information, no question. For most of us, all of this may be too much. However, the goal is to provide interested consumers with sufficient information to make an informed decision, not to frighten them.
When websites and applications track you closely, it’s time to adjust the settings or uninstall the program altogether. Please share your thoughts with me on this. Must we choose between privacy and services? If so, what would you choose?
You may reach us via our Facebook page, Twitter, or Instagram if you have any queries or concerns about the iPhone job or if you need any other assistance.
Good Luck!
