Android Jelly Bean help and tips req'd

G'day Folks,

I splashed the cash yesterday and bought a really cheap tablet PC!

I wanted this to be something that I could let the children play with; and if it ends up at the bottom of the toilet...

...well it won't be the end of the world.

It came with the google based Jelly Bean version of android on it.

Fair enough?


Well not really - talk about an invasion of privacy. Why the furk does "Angry Birds" need to search through my contacts and my location and my pants?


So step one was to make an empty gmail account so that I can download apps (you can't do that without a gmail account). If there's no information there then there's nothing to share...


...do any of you guys - have any experience blocking out these "finger in every pie" pesky apps?

I've been looking for tips on the internet and most of these solutions cost money and I'm not sure what's going to do what it says it will do...
