Oh gosh! Just turn off location services altogether or specific apps or
just do not use those apps at all!

I'm pretty sure you are giving away privacy with this. I'm also pretty
sure you are giving away a lot more privacy every time you go somewhere with
location turned on or you use Facebook or install a new app. I've long been
convinced that using any kind of cloud storage with the computer or mobile
device is a compromise of privacy. The question is, how much privacy am I
willing to trade for cool or convenience. Everything in life has a price
but that doesn't mean we should not be willing to pay that price. Not all
markets are directly run on money.
I think the best we can do to protect privacy these days is to be
extremely boring or go off line. I'm not going off line but it is real easy
for a guy like me to be boring.

Wayne

Hi guys,
Aren't we giving away some privacy by installing this app in order to
receive another 1 gig of Dropbox space? In other words, this free space is
probably not so free. Where is our email address going to go? Is it possible
that we will inadvertently give spammers a live email address to be used
some time down the road when we have forgotten that we gave these people our
email address? Please keep in mind that this is a serious question to
ponder. I'm not just trying to stir stuff up, I'm actually concerned when it
comes to my privacy, so I'm hoping for some thoughtful feedback as this
concerns all of us who are cautious as to where our personal information is
going. (Smile).
Joseph
