We still haven’t heard far more about that Federal Grand Jury investigation into Pandora and other mobile apps over privacy concerns, but an independent security firm has now gone ahead and brought matters into its own hands. In line with an analysis done by the oldsters at Veracode, Pandora does indeed appear to be sharing additional information about then you definitely it lets on. More specifically, they discovered that the Android app (they haven’t yet gotten around to the iOS version) “appears” to be sending information regarding users’ birth date, gender, Android ID and GPS location to numerous advertising companies — bits of knowledge that the firm notes can be combined to choose who someone is, what they do for a living, or even who they go together with. For its part, Pandora is barely declining to to comment as we speak, and we’re guessing that’s unlikely to switch anytime soon given the aforementioned investigation.
