I had heard a lot about the projects of Sheth Group. The famous
builders who made Viviana Mall which is one of the best Built Mall In
Thane. I decided to invest with them for their Residential projects
called Midori. Residential apartments at Midori start only beyond a 5
level podium to ensure magnificent views of the Borivali National Park
from every floor. The way the project is planned is just breath-taking!
Amazed by it. I suggest you guys should give it a look atleast once.

Facebook’s “Most Used Words” App Accused Of Stealing Personal Data
“Most Used Words On Facebook” App Collects Lot Of Your Personal Information
Facebook newest application not only wrecks personal space but is making users wondering if it’s worth it. The “What Are Your Most Used Words on Facebook?” app created by a South Korean company named Vonvon displays a “word cloud” based on your frequently used words in past status messages, and assembles them into a picture that shows the most common ones in a larger size. The application might seem like fun at first, but UK-based VPN company Comparitech warns that it is a “privacy nightmare.”According to Comparitech, which first reported the privacy issues says that the app has been shared over 16 million times. The site wrote “That’s over 16 million people who agreed to give up almost every private detail about themselves to a company they likely know nothing about.”
In order to make the application work, basically you need to grant the application access. In other words, when a Facebook user signs up to use the app, he or she agrees to give the “What Are Your Most Used Words on Facebook?” app permission to collect your IP address, profile picture, age, friends list, posts, posts you are tagged in, birthday, education history, hometown, likes, photos and more. This data can be stored on Vonvon’s servers anywhere across the world.
“We may continue to use any non-personally-identifying information in accordance with this Privacy Policy (e.g., for the purpose of analysis, statistics and the like) also after the termination of your membership to this WebSite and\or use of our services, for any reason whatsoever,” says Vonvon’s privacy policy. “Vonvon processes Personal Information on its servers in many countries around the world. Such information may be stored on any of our servers, at any location.
Once it has sold that data on, it gives no protection for how it is used. The privacy policy “does not apply to the practices of entities Vonvon does not own or control, or to individuals whom Vonvon does not employ or manage, including any third parties to whom Vonvon may disclose Personal Information”, the terms read.
While we are not sure if this application is worthy to access our Facebook profile, one thing is clear though that one has to be extra cautious and be doubly sure before allowing any application to access your Facebook profile.

North Korea is accessing tourists’ private data on their laptops
North Korea is searching tourists’ laptops, web history
North Korean officials are searching visitors’ laptops, tablets, phones, and other gadgets for forbidden content.
North Korea is, of course, an awful place to be, and not the first idea most have for an international vacation. The nation has been trying to increase its tourist numbers over the last couple years, however, going so far as to offer mobile Internet access (revoked) and Internet ‘cafes’ lacking in peripherals. If neither of those things deter you from visiting, though, there’s the latest warning from the State Department stating, among other things, that North Korean customs will search through your Internet browser history.It’s no secret that North Korea is very strict about what visitors can do and what they can bring, but that hasn’t stopped many from smuggling content in and out. That is becoming more difficult, however, as the nation grows more paranoid about security amidst its push for tourists. Bringing so much as a single paperback book could get you extra scrutiny from officials.
According to the State Department, visitors should realize that North Korean officials are searching visitors’ laptops, tablets, phones, and other gadgets for forbidden content. This extends so far as to involve one’s browser history and cookies, which are analyzed to see if you’ve accessed anything the DPRK doesn’t like, never mind that the access took place outside of the country.
Of course, there’s a whole host of other things that can get visitors in trouble aside from having signs of banned content on a laptop. Trying to buy something from an unapproved vendor, for example, is a no-no. So is talking to strangers, snapping wayward pictures, saying anything in personal phone calls that may be considered critical or negative of the nation, and more.
