It looks like the company itself targets the ads, rather than selling the data to another company to target the ads. This shouldn't actually matter. Why do you care if your private information is in the hands of company A or company B?
- naniwaduni 8y agoOften people find it different when one party has the data, and has a decent track record of not broadcasting it to the world, and when the data is widely circulated. I know around here we like to assume that all data is going to suffer a security breach someday but-- - In practice, everyone has more than two levels of trust. - Someday isn't today.

That is true, but that doesn't mean that two levels of trust is not a privacy concern merely because everyone does it. >Someday isn't today I felt appalled after reading this. If you genuinely hold that belief, I hope your circumstances are merciful towards you.

- scarejunba 8y agoBecause if I can say "you may use information I give you in the app to show me ads without disclosing who I am and any of my PHI" then there's a bright line. I only need to worry about company A mishandling the data. If I allow selling, I need to know about the myriad companies that A may deal with, not just B. I have no problem sharing information for services. I just want to have controls on that.
