FYI: Tapatalk privacy warning!

[derk]

I just installed the Cydia tweak called Protect My Privacy. I have starting apps to see which ones I need to have privacy settings for. It separates the privacy protection into 3 categories: 1)Identifier (Unique identifier on your device) 2)Location 3)Contacts.

I was shocked when logging into Tapatalk and it was trying to access the contacts and I denied it. I posted in the Jailbreak Apps forum because Protect My Privacy is a Cydia tweak.

i saw this in the Cydia Changes this morning (Protect My Privacy). been a little hesitant on installing in fear of it raising my paranoia to another level haha!

It's looking like an iOS flaw because it seems like many of my apps like MLBatBat are checking contacts which is weird. I am glad I installed the tweak.
