AP CSP Day 22: Iteration Patterns
Share
Practice Question
A mobile app requests permission to access a user's contacts, location, and photos. Which of the following best describes a privacy concern with granting all these permissions?
Contacts contain names and phone numbers (PII). Location data reveals where a person lives, works, and travels. Photos may contain sensitive images. Granting broad permissions allows the app to access and potentially share this PII with third-party advertisers or data brokers.
A) Permissions primarily affect data access, not app performance. C) While location services use some battery, the primary concern is privacy, not power consumption. D) Permissions are granted per app — granting permissions to one app does not affect other apps.
Students focus on performance impacts (speed, battery) rather than the privacy implications of data access. The AP exam emphasizes understanding what data is collected and how it could be misused.
When evaluating app permissions, think about what PII could be collected, who might access it, and how it could be used beyond the app's stated purpose.
