Man I feel hopeless. I have not connected my Facebook account for over 90% of these sites/apps but they still sent my data to Facebook.

- StavrosK 7y agoSame here. At least you can just turn it off on this page, and hopefully that will do something.
- dannyr 7y agoIs is too late to change my email address on Facebook? I'm assuming Facebook keeps a history of my email addresses that it can still associate it to my account. Another option is to change all my email address at these sites.
- StavrosK 7y agoIt's not even that (though it might be part of it), I use a different email address per site (sitename@mydomain.com).
- jasonjayr 7y agoI have an address unique to facebook, and they still managed to associate it with some stores.
- throwawaylolx 7y ago>I'm assuming Facebook keeps a history of my email addresses that it can still associate it to my account. This is true: if you download your Facebook information file, you'll see it stores all the previous emails as well as all the previous IPs used.
- afandian 7y agoDo you have the option to stop using those sites or using those vendors? At least now you have more data on the externalities of using each service.
- dannyr 7y agoFor some of them, I can stop. But some are essential. Transferwise is not connected to my FB account but is sending data to Facebook.
- csunbird 7y agoI am not sure about transferwise but n26 seems to send data, based on some obscure privacy policy here https://support.n26.com/en-de/get-more-out-of-n26/other/custom-audiences https://support.n26.com/en-de/get-more-out-of-n26/other/cust...
- gpvos 7y agoThey probably just have a Like button on their website, which passes on data even if you don't click it. Use a request blocker like uBlock Origin.
- Drew_ 7y agoYou don't need anything on your frontend to share data with Facebook. Facebook doesn't acquire information like what shirt you bought by putting a like button a page. Your clothing retailer is willfully sharing that information for marketing benefits.
