In plain English — Fairphone

Fairphone doesn't sell your data and has a genuinely ethical mission, but it runs retargeting ads, sends your full IP address to Bloomreach for segmentation, keeps contract data for a minimum of seven years, defaults to anonymisation rather than deletion when you ask for your data to be removed, and forum posts older than 60 days can never be fully deleted.

In plain English — Reddit

Reddit collects your behaviour, device data, and inferences about your demographics, and shares some of it with ad-tech partners — but it explicitly doesn't sell your personal data, deletes IP addresses after 100 days, doesn't track precise location, and extends privacy rights to all users worldwide, not just those in regulated regions.
