GVH warns of hidden risks of mobile apps
In the digital world, smartphones and applications (apps) have become an integral part of our daily lives. Beyond shopping, we use them for social networking, entertainment, information, work, obtaining services (e.g. utilities, taxis), and more. App stores give us easy access to a variety of applications that make our lives easier and more colourful. However, it is important to be cautious before downloading, as a free app may later involve charges, or certain apps may pose risks to our personal data.
What should you check before downloading an app?
What should you check for already downloaded apps?

The GVH recommends that consumers use the tools made available by technological progress but always remember that the most effective weapon and protection for the consumer is careful and well-informed decision-making.
Further useful information about mobile applications can be found under the Think It Through Calmly section of the GVH website.
