Use at your own risk: how top education apps can spy on you
-
A recent investigation by Cybernews reveals that many popular educational apps, including Coursera, Duolingo, and Moodle, request sensitive permissions, potentially putting users’ privacy at risk. These permissions allow access to sensitive data, such as location, camera, contacts, and storage. Some apps even have access to users’ accounts, phone numbers, and device information. While such permissions may be essential for certain features, they can open the door to misuse if compromised. Users are advised to carefully review app permissions and revoke unnecessary access to protect their privacy.
