Ask HN: How do I hide my private information to apps?

1 pointsby muse900over 7 years ago
Hey,<p>I was out with someone I met. So after we had a coffee etc we said lets exchange numbers.<p>I am doing a misscall to him and he had an app that literally spitted out my email address on his phone...<p>I feel very unsafe after that. I am using gmail and I understand the implications on my privacy using google as my provider but thats just too much...<p>Why would a random app be able to connect my mobile number and my email together, and how?<p>How do I take it off?<p>Any help is much appreciated.<p>(I&#x27;ve no idea what the app is called, he was using an android phone) Update: I think this is the app https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.truecaller&amp;hl=en_GB
