Are you someone who finds entertainment in Candy Crush and Tinder? If so, your phone could be hacked.

The apps we consider safe may not always be so. Reports suggest that widely used apps like Candy Crush and Tinder access live location and leak personal information. It's important to be very careful while granting permissions when installing apps. On Android phones, avoid granting access to the camera, location, and photos unless necessary. iPhone users should enable the "Ask Apps Not to Track" feature to protect their data from being misused.

Such apps, which raise serious privacy concerns, are available on both Android and iOS platforms. According to reports, this data collection happens through the Real-Time Bidding (RTB) system, where companies bid for ad space in apps. While running ads, data brokers can collect users' location data even without the involvement of app developers. The list of such apps includes games like Candy Crush, Subway Surfers, and Temple Run, as well as dating apps like Tinder and Grindr
