Giant Foods mobile application permissions are listed
below. This is the information you give
up for the "privilege" of printing out coupons and spending money in
their store. This is hardly the only application that is invading your privacy. No wonder identity theft is rampant.
Are they nuts or are we
nuts?
Why would you give this kind of
information to anyone?
Is your privacy so unimportant that you
will give it up for
a lousy coupon?
