Facebook’s data-collecting VPN company has found a way to collect even more data

The Verge ----------- Facebook’s analytics company released a new app this week, which like many of their products, exists mainly to collect user data and package it up for Facebook. The app is called Bolt App Lock (currently available for free in the Google Play store) and it’s made by the same company behind the controversial VPN service Onavo Protect. The app was released on March 5th, as spotted by Tech Crunch today. The Bolt App Lock lets you add additional security measures like PIN codes, fingerprint recognition, or pattens, to apps you don’t want others to easily access. Some apps, like banking apps and menstrual trackers, already require you to input a passcode or your fingerprint before you can log in. Others, like Facebook, Gmail, and Twitter, keep you signed in for longer periods and could use additional security measures from third-party apps like Bolt App Lock, Norton, or Keepsafe.
