New Google Play data safety tracking report shows which apps violate privacy most

Six months ago, Google Play introduced its data safety section to require developers to declare how they collect data and what they do with it. Now, an Incogni report reveals what the top 1,000 apps (500 free, and 500 paid) are doing with that data. The analysis found that more than half the apps share data with third parties, that apps with more than 500,000 downloads share on average more than 6x more data points than less popular apps, and that more than 13% of apps in the study share location data with third parties.
