In the latest
MW Android update (2.0.4) there was a new app privilege added:
Retrieve running apps.
GREE, please clarify exactly and fully how and for what you're going to use that data!
As for us players:
This isn't a very serious privacy intrusion.
I would guess it's for performance analysis and/or other technical purposes.
But could as well be for spying on competitors, like the new Hobbit game, and generally looking up what apps are popular to use, or worse like profiling individuals by apps. And don't think it's ONLY when you're actually in MW, it always runs in the background unless you force-close.
Personally, I don't have any special/sensitive apps running...
But in any case, I'd prefer to keep that private, GREE!
Here's a link to
MW in the Google Play store's website, click the "Permissions" tab.
