A Carnegie Mellon University study has discovered that a selection of Android apps collect geolocation data on their users an average of once every three minutes, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The data requested by the apps would pinpoint a user’s location to within 50 meters, and over the two weeks of the study, apps requested that information an average of 6,200 times.
