Who Can See Your Personal Information?

     Apps can have access to your various social media accounts; do you know which apps have access to which accounts? Chances are, probably not. Allowing apps to have access to your accounts is simple task done when you first create an account, we don't even think about it anymore. The tricky part is, however, remembering which apps have access to which accounts, and remembering when to disconnect these apps from your personal information. The good news is there is a fast, easy solution: mypermissions.org. This site lists eight major social networking sites including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Flickr.
   
     Does it sound like just another app to grant permission to? Well it’s not! It is simply a list of handy links to help you check your own permissions as well as a service to remind you to clean up your permissions once monthly (if you choose). The site’s main purpose, above all else, is to be an aggregator and a way to make sure you are aware of who can see the personal information you are sharing online through social media sites.
