In plain English
This means data from an app can be connected to what you do in other places run by other companies. It is about following activity across apps, websites, or services, not only within one app. It names the status of data being usable for that cross-service tracking purpose.
In context
Here, it classifies data use by indicating that data from an app is usable to follow your activity across apps, websites, or services from different companies.
- Situation
- Understanding encryption, privacy, data-sharing, and secure-connection labels
- What it communicates
- classifies data use for tracking across services
Meaning limits
By itself, this status does not say which data is involved or whether such tracking has already occurred.
Examples
“Your watchlist stays inside the app, but the customer ID it sends to other companies' websites is used to track you.”
“They separated crash logs from data used to track you before sending the summary.”
