iPhone or iSpy?

If people want to know everything about you, they need look no further than your smartphone. 

It contains a host of your personal information and leaves a trail of digital footprints everywhere you go.

A proposed class-action lawsuit filed last week alleges that Apple and a handful of app makers 

are invading user privacy by accessing personal data from customers’ smartphones 

without permission and sharing it with third-party advertisers.

Concurrently, federal prosecutors in New Jersey are investigating whether several smartphone app makers, 

including Pandora, are transmitting customer information without proper disclosure. 

Separately, Congress is mulling legislation aimed at giving consumers the option to tell companies 

not to track their personal data.
