They are sharing this personal information widely and secretly, a Wall Street Journal survey has found. An examination of 101 popular smart phones apps games and other software(软件) showed that 56 sent the phones unique ID to other companies without users awareness or agreement. Five sent age, nationalities and other personal information to outsiders.The findings discover the effort by those app companies to collect personal information in order to get sponsorship (赞助) for which are largely traded. The Pandora, a music app, sends age, location and other information to different ad companies. A game called Paper Toss, in which players try to throw paper into a trash can, also sends the phones ID number to at least five ad companies. Omegle, an iphone app for meeting strangers around for the purpose to make friends, does the same thing. For these companies, personal information weighs much more than apps themselves.In the world of mobile, there is no secret says Michael Becker of the Mobile Marketing Association. A mobile phone is always with us. Its always on. Mobile phone company says it reviews each app before offering it to users.
