There is an addon in cydia for those who jailbreak that helps. It's called ContactPrivacy, and it's free.

What you've described here is a violation of Apple's rules. You should "Report a Problem" to let Apple know that it bothers you. I wouldn't call it common or even understood as acceptable that developers would do that. I certainly don't. -- ~ Mike Stemle, Jr. On Feb 9, 2012, at 9:48, Cameron Childress <camer...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I wonder how many people store passwords in their address book. > > -Cameron > > On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 9:09 AM, Casey Dougall - Uber Website Solutions < > ca...@uberwebsitesolutions.com> wrote: > >> >> http://dcurt.is/stealing-your-address-book >> >> It's not really a secret, per se, but there's a quiet understanding among >> many iOS app developers that it is acceptable to send a user's entire >> address book, without their permission, to remote servers and then store it >> for future reference.
