Research shows that the apps collecting the most data about you are also among the most widely used.

The real issue is data collection that serves no purpose other than showing you ads or selling your information to third parties.

According to Marin Marini , the top 20 most invasive apps collect data that is not necessary for their core functions.

The only way to dodge these invasive apps is to switch to apps that respect your privacy.

Uninstall apps you no longer use to reduce passive data collection.

Turn off " Apps, Websites and Games " to limit third -party data sharing.

Use a separate, disposable email for account registration.

Use the app only when needed, and avoid storing payment methods if possible.
