You deleted the app, so your data is gone too, right? Not necessarily. When you sign up for a service and hand over your details, that information lives on the company’s servers, not just your phone. Even if you stop using the app, your data could still be sitting there years later, and if that company gets breached, your details could be exposed.
In this episode, Charly covers:
Why deleting an app doesn’t remove your data from the company’s servers
How to think about the information you hand over when signing up
Steps to log in and cleanse your account before deleting an app
How to request data removal under Australian privacy principles
Why you should revoke app permissions before uninstalling
How to track down old accounts through your app store and emails
Checking Sign in with Google, Apple, or Facebook for linked accounts
Take the time to go through your phone and clean up properly. Deleting the app is only half the job.
