Communication App collects data

As can be seen from the above figure, in addition to Signal, the other 5 communication apps will collect user data and link the user's personal identity.

Developers mostly use the collected data in third-party advertisements, developer advertisements or market promotion, analysis, product personalization, App functions, etc. Some of them are only very private information of users, such as identification codes, locations, photos Or videos, contact information, etc.

According to the amount of data collected by the communication app, it is also possible to understand the level of security protection for user privacy.

In the absence of an App that is 100% secure, Signal can provide the required communication services while collecting very little user data. This may be the most powerful reason for some people to "transfer".
