A new report from German company Mobilsicher, an outlet dedicated to info on mobile security, has detailed some information about how certain apps share user information with Facebook, BuzzFeed News reports. The group tested the Android version of a number of apps — including Tinder, Grindr, OKCupid, health-related apps like Pregnancy+ and MigraineBuddy as well as religion-focused apps such as Bible+ and Muslim Pro, among others — and it found that personal information was being collected from those apps via Facebook’s SDK. That information could include IP addresses, the app in use, the type of device and users’ unique Advertising IDs, info that’s transferred as soon as a user opens the app.
