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.

But your employer or meeting host can access everything you say, record, and type, and Zoom shares data with advertising and analytics partners. The privacy story is split: strong on AI and content use, weaker on employer surveillance and ad-tech.
