Personal Assistants (Competition to Siri & Google Now)
Personal Assistents, electronic butlers: all this either reminds of StarTrek (“Computer?!”) – or you feel “appled”1 (Siri). But they are there for Android as well, not only since the start of Google Now. As they should do many tasks, they usually require many permissions, too – especially to personal data. Which is why tracking modules must be viewed as particularly critical (above all, those reporting to Facebook & Co).
