Did you ever grab your Facebook data? When I did, I was astonished to find out just how much they had collected and stored. Numbers I hadn't seen in years even, and a lot from back in the days I had a Blackberry and there was seemingly no option for "don't eat up my contact list." at all. It was frightening and eye opening at the same time.
- 8fingerlouie 8y agoI grabbed my Facebook data when the GDPR came into effect. Besides what I've "willingly" shared they don't have much data on me. No phone calls, no text messages, no locations, no contacts. I attribute this to always having used iOS, and me always having been rather conservative with what permissions I give out to apps. I never give out address book permissions, location updates is allowed if _I_ have use for it within the app, etc. I've never used Google apps on my iPhone. Mostly though, it's probably due to iOS. It has always had better/finer privacy settings, and where Android used to require permissions up front, iOS asked for them when you actually used the feature within the app. The option to disable background updates also helps a great deal. Can't very well siphon my entire location history if you only receive location updates for 6 minutes per day.
