Privacy has been a thing of concern during the last months, and most organisations aren’t helping in keeping your data secure as they monitor and take records of your activity on their platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook isn’t exempted as they even monitor our Off-Facebook activity, which means that\u00a0even when you’re not logged into the app, they still monitor how you interact with apps on your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our Off-Facebook activity includes information that businesses and organisations share with Facebook, informing them about your interaction with them, i.e. banks, websites, and apps.<\/p>\n

This feature is active by default, and I’m certain most of us reading this aren’t aware of this.<\/p>\n

At that moment, you’ll know that there is a leak somewhere, and this comes as a result of our data being sold amongst these big organisations for their profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
