If an app on Google's Play Store says it may share with third parties your "Name, email address, user ID and other info" for the purposes of "App functionality, Fraud prevention, security, and compliance, Account management" as well as your messages and your approximate location... could the data be used for ad targeting?
Even if the company says that the app in question is only to verify your identity and is separate from the other app it's verifying your identity for? And it says it's complying with European laws?
