Hidden Objects Game
#15 EntertainmentiOS Review
Somehow this app logged almost *two thousand* tracking attempts in the few minutes that we used it to play one round of hidden objects game. It was *constantly* making calls to Facebook tracker and a few others. When the app was moved to the background, tracking attempts kept racking up. It's possible that the app continues to try connecting to trackers when the connection fails, resulting in many more attempts.
Find Hidden Objects's Privacy Rating is F. We found 5 different third-party trackers in the Find Hidden Objects app, and there were 1915 attempted tracking connections detected during our test.
Blocked tracking attempts.
How was tracker testing done?
Tested using Lockdown v0.3.9
What was done during the test?
1915 tracking attempts - a new record - in just a few minutes of installing the app and playing one hidden objects game.
How many tracking attempts each time the app is opened?
201.
Did user give consent to tracking before tracking started?
No.
