Privacy implications with FaceApp. – IT Security Guru

FaceApp, the latest viral challenge, is keeping the selfies of its users, according to its privacy policy.
The app, which
encourages users to age themselves after uploading pictures, was
developed by a group in St Petersburg, Russia. The trend has since
amassed millions of users across the world. But following
security concerns, politicians have been warned not to use the app.
According to USA TODAY, the app’s privacy policy states it collects the
pictures uploaded to its service. One of its developers, Joshua Nozzi,
added the app may try to upload other pictures from the phone’s library
without asking for permission.
