Is it safe to use third-party apps or plug-ins?

< 1 min read

It’s important to be mindful when using third-party apps or plug-ins. Here are some suggestions for how to stay safe:

  1. Be mindful of where you download from – only download accessories from trusted sources.
  2. Check what permissions the app requires – a seemingly benign app may have access to sensitive information.
  3. Be aware of what personal information they ask for – any app should only ask for the strictly necessary information.
  4. Make sure to read reviews and do research – read user reviews and research the security background of the app.
  5. Install an updated antivirus – using up-to-date anti-virus software can ensure you will be better protected.
