Seems like most of my data they got from apps on my Android phone, there was even an app that I just installed, opened and uninstalled in less then a minute without even logging in or anything. How can I block them in the future?
If Google and Facebook is ready to "show" these data, I wonder what and how much data they are hiding.
Good point. I also wonder what the motivation behind this tool is. Furthermore, I don't understand how any of this is GDPR-compliant.
Probably to tell regulators and politicians that "transparency is in our dna" we design tools to help users know who is interacting with their data
Revolut is sending data to them, too. 202 interactions for my account.

Same here. At least you can just turn it off on this page, and hopefully that will do something.
Is is too late to change my email address on Facebook? I'm assuming Facebook keeps a history of my email addresses that it can still associate it to my account. Another option is to change all my email address at these sites.
I am in Europe, so by law (GDPR) I have the right to make them delete all of this data. How do I do so? Also, I never consented to this being collected. How can their practice of collecting this type of data be GDPR compliant?
But I'd recommend going to the source: Read the privacy policy of each party delivering data and check if they mention it. I already sent a mail to the DPO of an app provider which shows up in this list and doesn't mentions Facebook in their privacy policy.

I use Firefox Containers to limit and logged in FB activity to that & never log in using FB other than FB website itself. I have no FB apps (including WhatsApp). I've been running uMatrix for a few months. My firefox tracking-prevention (similar to EFF's one, but probably not as good) is always using maximum privacy settings. I still have a few sites appear... AND for websites I've never even visited (that I'm aware…
Agreed, even with all of the above I had about 15 or so sites in that Facebook list. I suspect it's because I was logged in to Facebook on my phone's browser for a while. Not sure why I even did that...
In my profile, they managed to obtain a `PURCHASE` event from Macy's -- for an in-person purchase at a physical store . Macy's has my email address and certainly linked it to my credit card number, but this is nonetheless seriously creepy. I just tried to change my email address on Facebook and discovered that they canonicalize plus and dot variations in gmail.com addresses, and thus claim that the new email address…
interesting.. they could use that to predict earnings..
Nah, I will pass.
Hmm. I have no website activity listed - but seemingly every single Android game and a few other apps is sending "activity" to FB, despite me never using any feature to associate the two. This sounds like: https://privacyinternational.org/report/2647/how-apps-androi... Any sensible way of stopping this?
Realise that you don't really need those android apps, or the google or facebook account. The utility and entertainment you get is half of surveillance capitalism ecosystem, and the other half is that they compile all this information about you. I know it sounds preachy and it's not a conclusion most people will like. But, like fasting, going without something you like but don't really need does help you focus on wha…
