A day after the anonymous French cyber security researcher exposed that an Android App promoted by BJP and PM Narendra Modi was transferring user details to an American company, the privacy setting in App was “quietly” changed on Sunday.
Pratik Sinha in Altnews, the Internet fact-checking website , was the first to notice the change.
“ While the PM’s website claimed that personal information would not be provided to third parties in any manner whatsoever without the consent of the user, it was doing exactly the opposite,” “These hurried changes to the privacy policy further go onto prove that there was a clear privacy breach by PM Narendra Modi’s mobile app,” report went on to add.
Till a day before the exposé, privacy policy on the website read “Your personal information and contact details shall remain confidential and shall not be used for any purpose other than our communication with you. The information shall not be provided to third parties in any manner whatsoever without your consent.”It has now been discovered that to cover-up this issue, the privacy policy on PM Narendra Modi’s website has quietly been changed to accommodate for this lapse.
After a French security researcher claimed in a series of tweets that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s application “NarendraModi.in” is sending personal information of its users to a third party website in.wzrkt.com, Alt News fact-checked his claim and found it to be true.
