Google Orkut Apps - Privacy concerns

When you add applications, your public profile information* will be shared through the application with:

* the application developer
* your friends who receive your updates on orkut
* any other viewer or user of the application, whether on orkut.com or another website where the application appears

Note: you can choose to not add an app to your profile or have your friends receive from it, by changing your permission settings. When you add an app, simply uncheck 'Add to my profile' and/or 'Post updates to my friends.' You can also change this setting later by clicking the screwdriver icon in the upper right corner of any app.

*Your public profile information includes any data available on your profile that doesn't have a privacy setting that limits access to friends of friends, friends, or yourself. This includes content such as photos and videos. Your orkut friends' profile names, profile URLs and profile picture (all of which are public profile information) also will be shared.


If you want to report an app for abuse (spam, nudity, or malicious content) click report app at the bottom right of any app. We will review these cases and remove any violating apps, but please note that we will not contact you unless we need further information.
