Did you read the terms of service before downloading that app? What you just agreed to...

If you downloaded an app on your phone without reading the terms and conditions, you’re not alone – most people don’t...

They all start to look the same after a while but you might be surprised at what you’re agreeing to. A new report reveals that a lot of new user agreements actually give the developers permission to read your text messages and emails – and access your contacts and photos. Some can even track where you are and what you’re browsing.

A few popular apps that have access to your text messages are Flickr, Facebook, Badoo and Yahoo! Messenger. Apps that can access your camera include Flicker, YouTube and My Fitness Pal.
