According to a survey conducted in the United States in January 2021, over half of the respondents stated that they would refrain from downloading an app that asked for too much personal information like location or financial information, whereas 43 percent would still download such apps.
Would you refrain from downloading an app that asks for too much personal information?
Survey question as phrased by the source: "The new update has also added a section called 'App privacy' to the App Store, which will give an overview of all kinds of data a particular app collects beforehand. Would you refrain from downloading an app that asks for too much personal information like location or financial info, for instance?"
