These collected data are frequently used to create extensive profiles of you, which can then be used for targeted advertising or sold to other companies. 

When it comes to protecting your data on social media platforms, you can use an all-in-one privacy solution. Limit data collection, prevent intrusive ads, and remove your personal information from publicly available platforms using PurePrivacy.
