MyPermissions Description

MyPermissions is a privacy management company that enables users to monitor and control access to their personal information across mobile devices and online platforms. The platform tracks connected applications across major social networking and cloud services, including Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Dropbox, giving users visibility into what data third-party apps can access. Core to the platform is the ability for users to approve or revoke application access to sensitive personal data such as photos, documents, location data, contacts, and emails. MyPermissions has mapped and analyzed more than 3 million applications, focusing on what private data each app accesses and how it is utilized. This analysis has produced a large repository of app privacy data that is continuously updated. To make this data actionable, MyPermissions provides a privacy risk score for each app, offering both users and developers an indication of how intrusive an application is with respect to personal information relative to its stated function. This scoring system helps users make informed decisions about which apps to trust with their data. The company targets individual end users seeking transparency and control over their personal data, while also serving app developers who want to understand and communicate the privacy posture of their products. MyPermissions positions itself as a neutral layer between users and the apps they interact with, supporting responsible data monetization practices without undermining user trust.
