    Usage data is still your data. Also I already addressed the tracking issue by bringing up browser extensions and security settings. You must have missed that part in my post.

    Try Googling “how apps track you”. You’d be amazed by what information apps can obtain from you, even if they don’t have direct access to your files/location/call logs/etc.

      Eh, debatable. It’s the companies data since you agreed to letting them know what you’re using their site for. If they don’t know what link you clicked, they can’t take you to that link. If you clicked the link, they record that data and it is their data.

      Also I already addressed the tracking issue by bringing up browser extensions and security settings.

      The same way I addressed it by bringing up OS tracking requests and security settings.

      I know how apps track you. I don’t need to google anything. I’m a web dev by trade. I know that an app can’t obtain your contact information from your phone without requesting your contact data and without you approving that request.
