> I have been involved in a EU-based HealthTech that had the Facebook SDK (and maybe others too) in the app that fingerprinted the device and pinged Facebook on each run, without user consent nor adequate disclosure (buried in the privacy policy doesn't apply, nor was the privacy policy granular enough about the fingerprinting because Facebook itself doesn't publish any details on it).

- Nextgrid 4y agoI'd name and shame if this was a one-off (frankly if it was I'd raise it internally and they'd fix it) but given that all apps are like this my best advice would be to avoid all "healthtech" apps to begin with and use them through a browser (with good ad-blocker) if really necessary.
