SUMMARY - Third-Party Data Sharing

A person downloads a weather app that shares their location with 47 advertising partners, none of which they have heard of. A fitness tracker sells workout patterns to insurance companies that use the data for risk assessment. A retailer shares purchase histories with data brokers who combine it with information from hundreds of other sources, creating detailed profiles sold to anyone willing to pay.
