When we still have very recently the subject of the famous Apple file which records the position of antennas - as Apple said yesterday - something that also makes Android and Windows Mobile, now know another case of information leaks that affect the privacy of users . This is the famous GPS, TomTom, who have found a new source of revenue: selling data speeds of its users to the Dutch police . If you TomTom users may not know which record speed and position of these, but it seems that it is. And this has brought about this sale of information to the Dutch government, aimed to help improve the positioning of radar for speed control at different points. Or what is the same: to give police clues to where you can put more fines. This has generated much controversy, so much so that has led the company to apologize:
Commented Harold Goddijn, TomTom's chief executive, in an email sent to users in the reports also take measures to prevent the use of information in this way. In this case we could talk at length about the issue of speed limits and to respect others. But leaving that aside, the fact is that as consumers we have to worry so much about our privacy and although in the case of the position of mobile antennas Apple, Android and Windows Mobile are to benefit the users to have a better service, in this case would have a common benefit (the observed speeds) but it's impressions and concerns that use of data by the company. And get pissed dissatisfied customers, which could be solved with information, if you will collect certain data, clearly informs the consumer, but instead of a print that is often impossible to read it on landmarks and people know what they are buying. But unfortunately I think this is something we will not see short term and that we, the consumers, we must be more vigilant than ever to the terms of use of what we buy.
