Why it matters

Your information can spread beyond the app you opened. Later opt-outs rarely pull data back from everyone who already received a copy.

What to look for

“Sell,” “share for advertising,” “data brokers,” “third-party marketing,” “unrestricted sharing,” or long lists of “partners” without a clear service purpose. Note CCPA-style “do not sell” rights when present.
