How to protect your privacy in an era when 40 apps collect personal information and the network is developing rapidly?

Usually when we apply many apps, we will find that these apps often need us to allow them to use many functions, such as phone book function, voice function, storage function and so on. In fact, this is also a way for app to collect personal information. If we don't agree with the app to use these functions, the app often can't be used, which makes us feel helpless. How should we protect our privacy?

1? Clean cookie on your computer in time.

The only trouble with turning off cookie is that the next time you search, they can't remind you of what you searched last time, but it doesn't seem to have much impact.

2? Mobile terminal, making consumption seamless/anonymous.

Browsing data on the mobile side is more important than on the computer side, especially on Android phones. Many websites may inexplicably get your address book, phone records, SMS reading and writing, location and even photo album reading and writing. If this information is combined with your search records, they will actually make you completely consistent from basic information to demand information.

At present, many mobile browsers have a "seamless mode", which will be cleared after you quit, and will not be in the browser history, so it is always inconvenient, and you can choose whether it will cost you money.

3? Reject unnecessary permission applications for a small number of apps.

I downloaded a schedule management APP when I was consuming an Android phone, which can combine the alarm clock with the calendar, but when I opened the APP, I shut it down and uninstalled it directly. Because I really don't understand what a schedule management APP does to apply for my address book and SMS reading permission. So when using the APP, we try to turn off unnecessary permissions.

Of course, I also call for timely legislation to manage this problem. The collection of personal privacy by APP should be included in the legal scope!
