Answer

Apps commonly require access to information about your contacts, photos, videos and other files, as well as your device’s camera, microphone and location services.

I would be concerned about granting access to my private and contacts’ information due to concerns around my privacy as a result of how that data was going to be used.

Apps with permission to a device’s location might also be a privacy and security risk. Additionally, the location service will require the GPS of my device which will drain battery power.
