Many are the blogs that since the launch of Pokémon Go seem to be making monographs to the new success of Nintendo, releasing a large number of publications per day despite the fact that the game is not yet available in many countries. A couple of days ago, the news was published that the one users who registered through their Google account, evidently without knowing it, allowed full access to their account from Google, so that the company could access all the services that users use through Google.
According to the developer Niantic, the full access to the accounts of users who register through their Google account, has been a mistake. As reported by ABC News, full access to Google accounts has been an error since only the application should access the user's basic profile, including your ID and email. Niantic claims that it is working on it to fix the problem quickly through an update.
In addition, Niantic claims that Google has verified that the application has not had access to any other data or service from Google users through Pokémon Go, so users will not have to make any changes in this regard. In addition, Google itself is working to reduce the amount of permissions requested by the application, limiting access to the user's basic profile.
Apparently this problem it has only affected iPhone users, because no Android user has seen how in the services or applications allowed to access their data, through the Google website, the Pokemon Go application has access to their entire profile. At the moment we do not know what will come before, if the solution to this privacy problem or the launch of a new Nintendo game in more countries.
