Android users are more concerned about apps collecting data than iOS users

Do Americans know how much of their data is being collected and possibly shared by mobile apps? It appears not. 

Secure Data Recovery conducted a study to find out which apps Americans trust, and who cares at all. Key findings from the report include:

• More Android users (58%) described themselves as “very conscientious” about app use than iOS users (44%).
• 52% of iOS users say they’ve “given up” worrying about data collection vs only 38% of Android.
• Top apps Americans have low concern for but have high data capture: YouYube, Target, Gmail, Google Maps.
• Women’s health apps are the least trusted in America.
• If companies paid them for it, 66% would be more open to data collection.
