    I mean, this is why you read the terms and conditions.

    If the app was completely free, I feel that personal data tradeoff is likely worth it for a lot of these users. Especially if properly anonymized.

      Terms and conditions are completely meaningless.

      They can amend the T&C at any time and there’s usually nothing you can do about it. Once they have your data, it’s just a matter of time before everyone else has the same data.

      Literally the only way to prevent your data from getting out is to keep it off any computer you don’t 100% manage.

      That includes credit cards, banking, jobs, etc.
