Do third-party apps on Facebook really have access to loads of personal information?
Many of them do. That is, of course, if you give them permission. But at this point, hitting that “Connect with Facebook” button has become second nature to many of the social network’s users, and loads of them hastily click through without thinking what kind of information might be handed over. If you’re concerned about who has access to your information, make a habit of thinking before you click.
