FYI – data mining…

From C-Net, here are the ten apps that share the most data with third-party companies. In order to target ads to specific individuals, companies need your data, and these apps are more than happy to provide it:

Instagram 

Facebook 

LinkedIn 

Uber Eats 

Trainline 

YouTube 

YouTube Music 

Deliveroo 

Duolingo 

eBay 

“[Instagram] shares a staggering 79% of your data with other companies,” explains pCloud, referring to Instagram checking 11 of the 14 labels. “Including everything from purchasing information, personal data, and browsing history. No wonder there’s so much promoted content on your feed. With over 1 billion monthly active users it’s worrying that Instagram is a hub for sharing such a high amount of its unknowing users’ data.”
