Plain-English summary
The Service has several concerning practices including the potential for advertisers to infer sensitive health data from ad clicks (risk_flags-1) and making profile information and posts publicly visible by default (risk_flags-2). Furthermore, your personal information may be combined from various sources and shared with third-party apps and advertising partners, with advertising partners using this data for interest-based advertising (data_use-1, data_use-2, data_use-3). Even if you opt out of marketing communications, you will still receive service-related emails (gotchas-1), and revoking third-party platform access does not apply to previously collected information (gotchas-2).
