YOU'RE
YOU'RE WELCOME. >>> SPEAKING OF APPS, WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT ONE NOW THAT
MIGHT CAUSE MILD CONCERN FOR
SOME USERS.
SOME USERS. FACE APP.
FACE APP.
FACE APP. I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN A TON OF
PHOTOS ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORM FOR FRIENDS LOOKING
WAY, WAY OLDER.
BEFORE YOU GET INTO THIS,
BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO THE
FUTURE ON YOUR FACE, WATCH THIS
NEXT STORY BECAUSE THIS APP
ISN'T EXACTLY RISK FREE, AM I
RIGHT, SHARON?
RIGHT, SHARON? >> THAT IS CORRECT.
LIKE MANY THINGS WE HAVE ON OUR
COMPUTERS, OUR PHONES, OUR
IPAD, DEVICES, IT'S A BUYER
BEWARE KIND OF SITUATION AND,
YES, THE APP TAKES INFORMATION,
BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY
MEAN YOU SHOULD PANIC AND
DELETE.
DELETE.
DELETE. >> Reporter: FACE APP FEEDS
INTO OUR MORBID CURIOSITY.
WHAT WILL WE LOOK LIKE IN 30
YEARS, 40, 60 YEARS.
>> OLD ENOUGH ALREADY?
>> OLD.
>> OLD.
>> OLD. >> OH, MY GOD!
>> Reporter: THE REACTION IS
ALMOST ALWAYS THE SAME.

GAMES UNTIL IT'S NOT.
THE FOUNDER OF FR SECURE SAYS
IT'S NOTHING TO LOSE SLEEP
OVER.
OVER.
OVER. >>
OVER. >> AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING LIKE
EVERYONE HAS EVERYONE'S DATA,
IT'S TRUE.
IT'S TRUE. EVERYONE HAS EVERYONE'S DATA.
>> THERE'S TRUTH TO THAT.
WORRY OR CONCERN.
WORRY, NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
>> Reporter: FACE APP DOES
DISCLOSE IN THEIR PRIVACY
POLICY THAT THEY COLLECT USER
CONTENT.
CONTENT.
CONTENT. THE WEB PAGES YOU VISIT,
COOKIES, INFO THAT TELLS THEM
WHAT KIND OF DEVICE YOU ARE ON.
ALL THIS IN THE NAME OF
IMPROVING THE SERVICE.
DEPENDING ON WHICH COUNTRY YOU
ARE, THE TERM PRIVACY CAN FLEX.
FACE APP COMES FROM WIRELESS
LAB BASED IN ST. PETERSBURG,
RUSSIA.
RUSSIA.
RUSSIA. >> WE DO VALUE OUR PRIVACY IN
THE UNITED STATES.
MOST OF US VIEW IT AS A RIGHT
AND NOT A PRIVILEGE.
THE FACT THAT RUSSIA AND THE
UNITED STATES ARE IN A CYBER
WAR RIGHT NOW, ALL THE THINGS
GOING ON, THAT'S SOME OF THE
COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF ALL THIS.
>> Reporter: THE APP IS
UPLOADED TO A CLOUD.
THEY SAY IT GETS DELETED AFTER
A FEW DAYS.
YOU BEST BELIEVE IT.
>> LET'S SAY THEY SAID THEY
WERE GOING TO DELETE IT BUT
THEY DIDN'T, WHAT RECOURSE DO
YOU HAVE?
YOU HAVE?
YOU HAVE? THEY'RE NOT HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
STATES.
STATES. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN SUE THEM
AND DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

COUSINS.

ALL THIS?
ALL THIS?
ALL THIS? RIGHT ON THE TAB RIGHT THERE IT
SAYS FUN.

ARE THEY WORTH YOUR
INFORMATION?
INFORMATION? ARE THESE PHOTOS WORTH LETTING
GO OF YOUR INFO LEASH?
YOU'RE A GROWN UP.

YOU DECIDE. >> I THINK YOU SHOULD BE
CONCERNED.
CONCERNED. YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT IS YOUR
APPS ARE DOING ON YOUR PHONES
AND WHAT DATA IS BEING SENT AND
THEN MAKE YOUR OWN
DETERMINATION.
DETERMINATION. DOES IT MATTER?
>> Reporter: IT'S GONE VIRAL.
CELEBRITIES ARE DOING IT.
THEY ARE FOR ALL OF YOUR
FACEBOOK, TWITTER, ALL YOUR
FRIENDS ARE DOING IT.
CELEBRITIES ALREADY HAVE THEIR
FACE OUT THERE SO THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE AND IT'S A QUESTION
YOU NEED TO CONSIDER.
DO YOU WANT YOUR FACE OUT
THERE?
THERE?
THERE? >>
THERE? >> IT'S DISTURBNG.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> ONE PERSON'S FUN IS ANOTHER
PERSON'S DISTURBANCE.
PERSON'S DISTURBANCE. I'M AFRAID OF EVERYTHING.
I'M AFRAID OF THE DARK.
SERIOUSLY, I DON'T WANT TO GIVE
ANY COMPANY MORE INFORMATION
THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE, BUT
YOU'RE SAYING I'M BEING OVERLY
CONCERNED.

MATTER IF I USE FACE APP
BECAUSE MY DATA IS GONE.
>> THEY ALREADY HAVE IT.
>> I WAS GOING TO CALL YOU
KAREN BECAUSE I'M UPSET WITH
YOU RIGHT NOW.
