We know Google learns about our online activities (from websites) and OFFLINE activities (Master Card), Did you know Facebook does the same by getting info from mobile apps

A newly released study of 34 prominent Android apps (example - Duolingo, Kayak, Shazam, Spotify Music, TripAdvisor and Yelp) found that roughly 68 percent of them share user data with Facebook even when the device operator isn’t actively logged into the social media service or, for that matter, never created a Facebook account.

61 percent of the 34 apps begin automatically transmitting this data immediately, from the very moment the app is opened.
