The news is given by the site IntoMobile and has the potential to create a wave of criticism directed at the Palm.
The new smartphone from Palm seems to collect information on various types of user behavior in relation to applications and used the same geographical location.
There is code in the operating system that requires a Pre collect information on the location of the smartphone, use of applications, applications that block and a list of installed applications. This information is sent to the Palm on a daily basis.
The discovery was made by Joey Hess, developer of Debian, which operated the operating system when webOS noticed that there was information to be sent to Palm once a day.
The Palm reacted to the news, saying it takes "the privacy of users very seriously, and offers ways to disable the services for the collection of information.
