90% of Android applications give away your data to Google 

Repeat with me the mantra of technology during this century: If you are not paying for a service, it is because the service is you. It is clear that it sounds like a typical hackneyed phrase of your brother-in-law at the bar, but this is the only way to explain the success of Android and much of the software that Google provides its users, as well as the high price they pay to Apple for using their search engine.

According to a recent analysis, 90% of Android applications provide your data to Google. We are still not very aware of how these types of transfers of personal information work, but it is clear that they are taking a bad value from what Bitcoin did in its day. 

This study conducted by the University of Oxford has taken as reference almost a million applications compatible with the Andoroid operating system (owned by Google) and has found the illuminating detail that After analyzing their advertising trackers, 90% of them end up offering your usage information to the same company that provides the operating system., read this with an intonation of surprise: Google! But it is not the only counterpart in this matter, it is logical that there are more companies determined to obtain and market this data, despite the fact that Google is present in the vast majority of these. 

For this they have created an automatic system for downloading, testing and analyzing the data sent from the applications, thus obtaining a route to where our usage data really goes. Facebook also takes a significant portion of the pie, not as much as Google, but quite representative with up to 43% match between applications. This is how these companies nurture their databases to position themselves as the best advertising screens today, attracting specific users and thus making their clients (brands) achieve more effective marketing results. The other possibility is that a politician named Trump starts his campaign with this mechanism and ends up leading a world power, right?
