I don't know why this is not being responded to. It is evidently very important. Would it help if I shared a university study that focused on the Android?

http://www.appanalysis.org/

It states, and I quote: "Using TaintDroid, we studied 30 popular Android applications that use location, camera, microphone data. We found that 15 send users' location information to remote advertisement or analytics servers. However, none of the fifteen applications mentions such data collection practice in the user license agreements, if present at all." Yikes!!!
