Then we were given the option of having our finger prints to open up our phones. Now, we have phones that open by the use of our eyes, of our face, from any angle, in any form of lighting. This brings into question, how much of this information are they extracting to but into their own database to be sold onto a market. Though we buy the product, do we really own what is on the product
