Are you trading in your privacy to use an app?

When you start using an app, what are you giving up? You might be surprised!


In all likelihood, the app is sweeping up your private data — your phone number, email address, location, age, and other personal info that's important to you — and sharing it with all sorts of companies and advertisers you know nothing about. It could even end up in the hands of hackers and identity thieves.

How would you know?

At a minimum, you'd have to read through the app provider's terms and policies — often long and complicated — to find out. Even if they're written in plain English, that could take hours!

So, you probably click “accept,” start using the app, and forget all about it, having no idea that you might have just opened the door to everything from annoying ads, phone calls, and spam, to fraud, identity theft, or worse.

It's not too late!

MyAppDaddy is here to help!

We go over the app provider’s terms and policies for you and here’s what you get:

  • A report card for your apps
    • We grade apps — A through F — on everything from how your data is used, to who gets access to it, whether it’s ever deleted, how up-front the provider is in telling you all that, and more
    • Our grades are based on our in-depth analysis of terms and policies.
    • We also share important excerpts from the app’s terms and policies — and point out omissions — that led us to assign each specific grade
  • Our help in regaining control of your privacy by adjusting your settings, plus additional support

MAD’s Assessment Method

MAD uses its proprietary tools and processes to carefully evaluate an app’s handling of your personal information. The way our evaluation is presented enables you to review the amount of detail — from a single summary grade to detailed grades by privacy category and supporting evidence — so you can quickly decide whether to use the app or not.

About Us

We founded MyAppDaddy (MAD) because — just like you — we, our friends, and our families, are fed up with the fact that we have no practical way of keeping our private info private, on the internet.

If you’re tired of being hounded by unwanted calls, texts, emails, voicemails, and ads, or if you've had your identity stolen, you know this problem is bigger than ever.

We've got your back! MyAppDaddy® can help you...

  • Understand, evaluate, and compare — on the spot — how good an app is at protecting your privacy when they ask you to “accept” or “agree” to confusing privacy options
  • Identify providers who handle your personal information more responsibly
  • Rate your privacy on the apps you’ve already signed up for
  • Use tools that can help you opt out of some requests for personal info — with support, if you need it, e.g. for changing your settings
  • Receive the latest information and news about protecting your personal info on the internet, now and over time

We offer a range of price points for our services, from free, to fee, to subscription. And by the way, we practice what we preach.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME!™
