Path is a popular social networking app available for iOS and Android devices. It is reported that user’s entire Contact/Address Book information is uploaded to their servers and that is causing a bit of a controversy in the media about manipulating user data without their knowledge.

Co-founder and CEO Dave Morin told TechCrunch that it is working to be more transparent in terms of how the company harnesses user-driven data.
