There is a lot of data that Google knows about you, although not everyone knows what other current technology companies are that keep track of everything you do on the Internet or even collect more data than you would imagine. And it is that, not only do they know more about you when using your PC, they also know personal data of mobile or tablet users.
So that you can get an idea of which are the companies that track people’s information the most , we will tell you which is the least invasive of all and which should worry you the most. Of course, leaving Google aside, which, as you already know, is the one that currently tracks the most data for each person.
Types of data for each person
One of the companies that tracks the most information for each person is Google. Although, this is something that you will already imagine as a user. But the big ‘G’ company aside, it’s time for you to get an idea of the other tech giants out there today according to a recent study by StockApps.com.
In addition, it not only manages to collect data from users while browsing the Internet or from third-party applications, but includes anything from the users’ own specific location to their own browsing history. They even store people’s activity on Gmail emails .
The second, below Google, we find Twitter . The well-known social network manages to record up to 24 types of data for each person. Then, we find Amazon , which has up to 23 types of data, while Facebook has 14 types.
Which is the most respectful of privacy?
This report that has revealed the analysis of the data collection made by 5 of the most important technology companies in the world makes it quite clear which is the one that least manages to track all users. We have already mentioned Google, Twitter, Amazon and Facebook, so we only have to talk about Apple.
In this case, the American apple company ranks last. This means that it is one of the most valuable brands when it comes to respecting the privacy of its customers, limiting itself only to obtaining the necessary information without affecting the privacy of its users and, above all, without obtaining more than them without notice. According to this recent study, it collects up to 12 types of data.
And it is that, for years, the apple firm has been committed to continuing to advance when it comes to giving more privacy to its users. For this reason, new software was included as of iOS 14.5 with which users can choose if they do not want an app to track their information. Specifically, we are talking about App Tracking Transparency .
Although, it must be borne in mind at all times that Apple does not have a business model based on advertising. So, in this case, it is understood that you do not need to have so many types of data from all your users.
