How to determine what information is being captured by Apps

[rkrpxz]

I have two questions that are somewhat related.

1. Is is possible to determine what information an installed app has sent via email, HTTP or SMS? I would like to periodically review this information to decide if I should keep or uninstall certain apps.
2. Is it possible to write an app that will monitor any kind of outgoing communication (HTTP, Email, SMS, for example) and log the information or alert the user about it?

Network Connections will let you see any and all connections established by apps on your phone. You won't be able to see the exact packet data or anything, but if a live wallpaper app is sending a whole bunch of data to a server on the other side of the world you'll be able to notice
