Threads collects sensitive personal information about you The data collected by the Threads app could include your sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, biometric data, trade union membership, pregnancy status, politics, and religious beliefs. This data may potentially be sent to “service providers” and “analytics partners,” which is often code for third-party advertising and marketing firms. Threads collects data about your employment Information about your company, your role on your team, your job history, and your performance evaluations may be collected and sent to third parties. Threads collects data about your body Details about your health, fitness, and exercise may be hoovered up to be sent to third parties. Threads collects data about your web activity Threads may scour your browsing history, web page interactions (including with ads), and the referring web page or source through which you accessed Threads links. This information may be sent to third parties as well. Threads collects data about your location Photos, videos, or other recordings of a user’s environment, as well as “IP-address-based location information,” may be collected and sent to third parties. ---- 1. How does it access biometric data? 2. How does it access your performance evaluations? 3. How does it access your browsing history? 4. How does it access "photos, videos, or other recordings of a user’s environment"? If the answer to this is that it extracts information from the things you post, mining the data of your threads over years and extracting a profile, then that isn't that big of a privacy invasion -- especially if you post publicly. If the answer is that they activate the camera without you knowing, that they bypass security features to access browser history and biometric data, and that they... I don't even know how they'd access performance evaluations, then that's a different question and less of a privacy issue and more of a computer misuse issue. Does anyone know the answer to this? Perhaps it's time for phone cameras & microphones to have hardware lights next to them like Macs do.
