Hi, I am concerned about granting apps the permissions they sometimes
require.  For example, if an app needs access to my Contacts because
it offers a feature of sharing something (pictures, for example) with
my friends and I grant it permission during installation.  How can I
be assured the app doesn't instantly collect all my contact
information for it's own marketing promotions or something else?

I guess what I'm wanting to know is: If an app has "read contact data"
permission for a unique feature of the app, does that mean it can also
send a compilation of all my contacts' information to its data
warehouse?  Or does it only have access to my Contacts when I initiate
the special feature within the app?

Jim
