Privacy - Grindr Trackers are sending your full name and email to 3rd Parties!
I have a tool that tells me what apps on my phone are sending information about me elsewhere (trackers). While common in many apps, what is quite UNCOMMON and ALARMING are the number of 3rd party trackers Grindr enables in the background (even when the app is not running) and the sheer variety of personal information it is sharing to anyone that will pay them for your data. Your first and last name, your email, your GPS location (at all times). If you are someone attempting to be discrete, maybe you are an elected official, etc - any company can fairly easily compile full names, emails, location data, app activity on you. This is beyond just "big brother is watching". Grindr is abusing this to a whole new level. If Grindr is not going to voluntarily protect user privacy, legislattion and regulation should. Be warned if you use Grindr, everything you say, send and do is being logged...

My social media info has fallen into the hands of far right extremist anti-lgbtq individuals that are now cyberstalking me. This has been going on since December of 2022 and have most recently had an incident this past weekend - 4/21/23. I’m disturbed and worried for my own safety. I am thinking that grindr has either shared my information which has fallen into the wrong hands or that someone has circumvented grindrs safeguards to access my info - with malicious intent.
