The other day we reported that two HTC devices – the Sensation and EVO 3D – were reported to have a system app called CIQ which seems to be collecting data regarding the apps you use, how long you use it for, etc. At that time it was suspected that the data collected was being sent to a cloud server which could be accessed by HTC and other companies to be used most likely for marketing reasons. Given how user data (especially location data) is a very sensitive issue nowadays, HTC was quick to clarify the reason as to why they are collecting said data.
Ubergizmo
