Pretty much the whole world is going bonkers about the new Pokemon Go game, but for many players that signed up, they missed some pretty important stuff. Before they caught their first Pikachu, players were asked to review the terms of the contract. And they did the thing that a lot of people do when they see a bunch of fine print \u2013 they skipped right past it.<\/p>\n
Little did they know that Niantic asked for a lot<\/em> of permissions. Like full access to your email, including the ability to read or write emails. Now, it sounds like this controversy was a little bit overblown<\/a> and Niantic (who created the game) clarified the permissions with a press release, but many people allowed full access to their Gmail accounts without so much as a question.<\/p>\n
