    Or just buying your data from US based companies, almost every app (even ones that say they don’t) collect so much unrelated data for the parent company to sell. Why does McDonalds need to passively collect my network carrier, screen resolution, birthday, or gps coordinates?

    Get the duckduckgo app, enable the tracking protection, and cringe at the hundreds of thousands of tracking attempts that your apps are giving. I had 200,000 tracking attempts blocked in the past 7 days alone (not including time I had the tracking protection off)
