How to stop your smart phone from tracking you

It’s no secret, people love their smart phones.

Every phone, app and website that you use comes with a privacy policy. But more than 90 percent of phone users don’t read the contents.

For Android users, all your phone data is sent to Google, including how long your call was and where you were at the time. It’s connected to your Gmail account.

For iPhone users, the same info. Is tracked, but it stays on your phone.

According to MarketWatch, there are over 1,000 apps that track your location alone. But they track other data once they are opened. For example, in the privacy policy of Airbnb, it explains what is collected just by opening the app.

So how do you stop sending this information?
