SUMMARY:How Apps on Android Share Data with Facebook - Report
DESCRIPTION:Previous research has shown how 42.55 percent of free apps on t
 he Google Play store could share data with Facebook\, making Facebook the 
 second most prevalent third-party tracker after Google’s parent company 
 Alphabet. In this report\, Privacy International illustrates what this dat
 a sharing looks like in practice\, particularly for people who do not have
  a Facebook account.This question of whether Facebook gathers information 
 about users who are not signed in or do not have an account was raised in 
 the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal by lawmakers in hearings 
 in the United States and in Europe. Discussions\, as well as previous fine
 s by Data Protection Authorities about the tracking of non-users\, however
 \, often focus on the tracking that happens on websites. Much less is know
 n about the data that the company receives from apps. For these reasons\, 
 in this report we raise questions about transparency and use of app data t
 hat we consider timely and important.Facebook routinely tracks users\, non
 -users and logged-out users outside its platform through Facebook Business
  Tools. App developers share data with Facebook through the Facebook Softw
 are Development Kit (SDK)\, a set of software development tools that help 
 developers build apps for a specific operating system. Using the free and 
 open source software tool called "mitmproxy"\, an interactive HTTPS proxy\
 , Privacy International has analyzed the data that 34 apps on Android\, ea
 ch with an install base from 10 to 500 million\, transmit to Facebook thro
 ugh the Facebook SDK.
