Oh no!! Unlike any other technology on earth that is actually used by non-trivial amounts of people?

That makes it sound like something malefic is happening. What privacy policy says is that they use Google tools (e.g. Google analytics, also used for delivering ads), and they put your data in Google analytics. This is however _their data_, while indeed "shared with Google" it doesn't mean Google is using it in any way, other than aggregate ("Across all our customers, <blah blah blah>") and even that, most likely only for internal statistics.
I for one definitely don't see that as "selling data", I'd agree with Zoom here.
- dpwm 7y agoThe article gave me the impression that the privacy policy literally said "depends what you mean by 'sell'." I didn't find that. I did find: > We do not allow marketing companies, advertisers, or anyone else to access Personal Data in exchange for payment. Except as described above, we do not allow any third parties access to any Personal Data we collect in the course of providing services to users. We do not allow third parties to use any Personal Data obtained from us for their own purposes, unless it is with your consent (e.g. when you download an app from the Marketplace). So in our humble opinion, we don’t think most of our users would see us as selling their information, as that practice is commonly understood. It seems a bit more nuanced than the article would suggest.
