My university just released an "official" app to "chat with your friends, look up your marks, your timetables, see your enrolment details..."
Guess who developed it? The fucking Santander bank.
Guess what the Terms & Conditions say? That your data can be sold to third parties and that you will receive advertisements from third parties.
The app even has a "News" category that is, again, controlled by the bank.
FUCK, I'M ANGRY.
If you can chat with your friend and see your enrolment details, given that the app source is of course proprietary, we can assume that Santander can see your chats with your friends, your enrolment details and sell to you whatever they fucking want.
I hate Santander Bank. And now I hate a little bit my university.
The Director of communications of my university has just said that the security of the app is assured because the passwords are not sent in plain text but in JSON objects.
