IQ carriers and the latest data from the O2-espionage, surveillance of people about what they send information from the mobile phone increases. Using the Galaxy notes, AndroidPit found that in four minutes, Vlingo voice recognition application is sending data packets to the server encrypted. This package contains the GPS coordinates, the IMEI (unique device identifier), contact list and the title of each song stored on the device – without adequate notice privacy policy you agree with the execution of applications. We spoke with co-founder John Wynn, head of product marketing for TJ Leonard and communications manager Erin Keleher, who gave us a full and honest discussion about what happened and the steps taken to remedy the situation, we have for you after the break.

The trio claimed privacy policy and terms of use included in applications only from the date and incompatible with the behavior of the software offers. The company is preparing a revised version, the biggest hurdle that must be accurately translated into six languages. Using IMEI number as the key to the stored information is not seen as a problem, because it is not known, but to investigate a less reliable system based on cookies. The names of your contacts are saved and the title track to help the application will correspond exactly to their needs for voice, although we hope to be able to recognize the “Lady Gaga” and “Larry Garber” without him. However, there is no phone number is transmitted or recorded application – using GPS location coordinates to provide relevant results.

So why the alarm data is updated on a regular basis? Four minutes charging time is intentional, update only when the application is used, and only then update any changes. The company can not reproduce the problem in the laboratory, suggesting that it is isolated to a small group of units. Encrypted transmissions will soon be a thing of the past, as companies migrate storage HTTPS. It has a full (and only) to control their data, with the promise that we do not sell or share, but remains doubtful for help in testing the product in the future. Users can, if they wish, email the site to request information that you will be deleted at any time. Vlingo is committed to replace the model that when a person has not used the application within six months, the data is removed, but there is no time about it.

For Samsung users to enjoy the benefits of the security update, the company must complete a modified version of the application is fully tested before having fun. May try again for the home team before being released into the giant Korean users. It will take a significant period of time. Vlingo is trying to solve many of these problems, because before it can enter into a “conversation” with her partner. Also planned with the revised privacy policy and public statements aimed at maintaining the level of trust with the user base, we integrate both here as soon as we get it.
