You might not want to give them your personal data. That's run by the same Cambridge that housed the Facebook scraping mechanism that was used by Cambridge Analytica to create personality profiles that got Trump elected in 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook%E2%80%93Cambridge_Analytica_data_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook%E2%80%93Cambridge_Ana... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Kogan_(scientist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Kogan_(scientist)

No, Cambridge Analytica and University of Cambridge are not the same Cambridge. Neither is Cambridge Chip Shop or the dozens of other businesses associated with Aleksandr Kogan with Cambridge in their name. It's a city in England.

  University of Cambridge wasn't exactly completely clean in this, though, given Aleksandr Kogan was a member of the university at the time that he did this, though how much visibility the organisation had of what he was doing is not clear.
