It’s really hard to read the small print, but we should be doing it!!
It turns out the “old” Face App that everyone’s been using to make them look old is a privacy nightmare. The app alters your picture to make you look old, and it’s been very popular on social media the last couple of weeks. Phew .. I’m so glad I didn’t use it! It’s run by a company in Russia and, per the privacy policy, you’re giving it access to all of your photos. By using the app, you grant them permission to use your altered AND non-altered photos however they want for eternity. YIKES! That is alarming! The company says they’re using a data center in the U.S., but there’s nothing stopping them from moving those photos elsewhere.
Lesson learned … read the small print!
