Android Smartphones Android smartphones have the ability to report the

location of Wi-Fi access points, encountered asphone users move around, to build databases containing the physical locations of hundreds ofmillions of such access points. These databases form electronic maps to locate smartphones,allowing them to run apps like Foursquare, Latitude, Places, and to deliver location-based ads.Third party monitoring software such as TaintDroid, an academic research-funded project, can, insome cases, detect when personal information is being sent from applications to remote servers.In March 2012 it was revealed that Android Apps can copy photos without explicit user permission,Google responded they "originally designed the Android photos file system similar to those of othercomputing platforms like Windows and Mac OS. Weve always had policies in place to remove anyapps on Android Market that improperly access your data."
