The mobile phone has become an indispensable device for most of us, since we take it wherever we go as if it were an extension of our body..

In it we are storing amount of information that we are slowly registering since from our devices we access social networks , browse the network, check our email accounts or bank accounts, download different applications and chat with them as may be the case by WhatsApp.

No doubt the information is immense. In addition to all this, we generally use our phone as GPS. It is true that in many occasions this can be a great advantage, but the reality is that many Apps ask us for access and we give it to them without paying attention to what we are doing.
