Find out who gained access to your personal info

Privacy is no longer about protecting your personal computer! It's about controlling who has permissions to access your personal information on the web. 
Websites and apps make it really simple to join, and by doing so grant them permissions to access your personal info. Revoking access is a whole different story... Those same websites hide permissions settings behind 2-5 links and as a result most people don't even know they granted, or can revoke those permissions.
People have tens and even hundreds of apps and websites that gained permissions to access their personal info. 
If granting permissions is a matter of a single click then revoking them should be just as easy" and following this line of thought mypermission.org came into being. A solution that automatically scans your permissions, alerts you when new apps gain access to your personal info and can even clean those permissions for you.
