In plain English — Google

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.
