I bought a new Android phone last weekend and this weekend decided to explore the applications available in the Android Marketplace. One of the apps I really want is IHeartRadio. However, when I select that app I get a message that reads:
This application has access to the following:
Your location
coarse (network-based) location, fine (GPS) location
Phone calls
read phone state and identity
Can anyone tell me why Clear Channel Inc., the provider of IHeart Radio, needs to know who I make calls to or receive calls from? The GPS thing I sort of get, since they can tell advertisers where listeners are located.
I noticed that even the New York Times captures phone call information. Am I being a little too paranoid about the phone thing?
