A new study by Comparitech reveals privacy concerns in mobile shopping apps.
The study analyzed 91 popular shopping apps and found that on average, these apps request 26 permissions, with 8 classified as 'dangerous' by Android standards.
Permissions such as access to camera, location, contacts, and device storage raise privacy red flags for consumers.
The study also highlights that many apps fail to include these permissions in their privacy policies, potentially violating Google's privacy policy standards.
