I'm doing everything I can to avoid tracking (continuous & up hill battle that).

One important tip for folks in general (you may already be doing this)...

*Don't use apps when the web will suffice!*

Apps allow much more thorough penetration of your phone data, location, camera, etc.

(This assumes well-made websites with https: #SSL turned 'on' of course!)

The corollary tip is to find out how to *delete all the cookie/web-related data* on your phone and do it frequently. I usually do this more than once a day. You could make it a "first thing in the morning" thing like brushing your teeth. Actually there's a lot of similarity between purging tracking data and dental hygiene!

After all the lies (lookin' at you #FaceBook #Meta!) I do not trust ANY declaration of "your data is safe with us". It ain't!

I have a "Distrust & Verify" stance for the sites/apps I actually use.

It's the world we live in... =(
