Hm...
1. I install an Android app.
2. Android app requests access to data sources A-Z.
3. I can safely assume that the company which owns this app is collecting all data their app running on my device sends it through data sources A-Z.
4. I can safely assume that the company is leveraging all that data in whatever way suits them, including selling it to third parties.
5. As far as who it is sold to and for what purpose, I can safely assume I won't be getting access to that information, ever. There was a very simple question asked on this forum awhile back merely requesting the names of the companies that are in general trafficking in people's personal information. You had to scroll way down the list to even see someone willing to list some of the obvious data brokers.
