I do not trust apps that ask for your location, in this case, your ip address. If you give an app access to your ip address, it could be dangerous depending on specific circumstances.
I’m NOT saying Love8’s intent is to be malicious or dangerous BUT if their data breached or hacked, hackers can hack your phone BECAUSE Love8 will have your IP address.
IP addresses can be used to find your personal information, locations, and in worse cases, hack your device, whether it’s an iPhone, computer, etc. Please be careful when you download ANY app that collects your ip address and review their policies before allowing access to your location!!!!
Now, Here’s a Snippet of this app’s Privacy Policy:
