🕵️♂️ Collecting these... 🔍 Surfshark cyber security company has done this study based on 32 data points mentioned in Apple's privacy policy. They also include sensitive information such as payment details, browsing history, and your exact location. Based on these, the apps were studied and given a ranking.
🔐 Those two apps... 🌐 Researchers say data collection is the same on Meta-owned Facebook and Instagram Gram platforms. According to the 32 data points in Apple's privacy policy, experts found that these two apps are collecting all of them. It is said that no other app collects information in data points in so many ways.
🤨 But while both apps... 🔐 collected all the data points listed, they only used seven points for tracking purposes, including name, address, phone number, the company's report clarified. X (Twitter) said that it collects the least amount of data from the user. However, when shared with third-party apps, it identified around 32 data points, half of which are used for user tracking. This raises concerns about data sharing practices in X. Research reveals that about 10 social media and messaging apps are collecting more data than average.
