a new study from the Norwegian Consumer Council which found that Grindr was “tagging individuals with their sexual orientation” and sent user locations to multiple companies. OkCupid sent a person’s ethnicity and answers to specific questions to a marketing firm, while Tinder sent a user’s gender and the preferred gender of the people they wanted to date to two marketing firms.
In response to the findings the owner of Tinder and OkCupid said that they “shared only specific user data deemed necessary for those services.” Grindr said they “valued users’ privacy,” though this isn’t the first time the app has been accused of grossly oversharing user information.
No shit

AverBlue Dunno anything at all about Tinder, but I doubt Grindr could share anything more personal than we already put in our profiles as it is. Seriously, people.
