Nearly 41% of Brazilians in relationships access the partner’s cell phone without permission. At least, that’s what a study by the Avastwhich also revealed a total of 61% of the 1,000 people surveyed doing this type of action, with just under half of them doing it without their partner allowing it.
Of these numbers, women were the majority in both questions and in general, 69% of respondents recognize that they did not have the right to access devices without permission. Javier Rincón is Regional Manager for Latin America at Avast and commented on the survey:
No form of spying is acceptable. Any unwanted access is a violation of privacy. These numbers may seem low, but this behavior can pose a huge problem, psychologically and even physically, for affected individuals who have been spied on.
It refers to the percentages of justifications used by people. For example, 23% admitted they did it because they were nosy, while 3% said they accessed their cell phone to install an app without their partner’s knowledge, and finally, 2% wanted to check where the other person was at a certain time.
Another piece of data on the survey found that 25% of couples even fought over something they found on their partner’s device. In addition, 24% of Brazilians who spied on the device did not need to enter a password, while 53% knew the password, informed by their partner. Paula Lopes General Coordinator of the CCDM in Alagoas and spoke about the attitude:
This behavioral practice of invading the other’s individuality is linked to the attachment related to a romantic love that manipulates, is jealous and controls. Things usually escalate gradually and subtly, and can escalate to more serious levels of invasion of privacy, stalking, even physical assault.
