>The flip side of this, is why would I ever install a Tim Hortons app, why do I think they are offering an app, and what possible meaningful benefit (even assuming I went there regularly) would I drive from having an app? All of the fast food restaurants now offer "deals" and/or points only available through the app. Tims popular game "Roll up the Rim to Win" used to be printed on the cups, and is now only available through the app. I wouldn't install them anyways, but lots of people have no idea how compromising these applications are to their privacy, and wouldn't infer the amount of information collected even if they read the privacy policy. These sorts of spying applications should just be banned. Nothing will change due to this investigation, and I doubt Tims will be fined any amount that would actually stop them from doing it, and no one will go to jail.
