Finding your soul mate or even just a one-night stand can all be done digitally now - there's an app for that. Several, in fact. But in order to find the best match, you need to turn over a lot of extremely personal information. You probably also need to let the app track your location, so you're only matching people within some acceptable distance. You would hope that dating apps would be better than other apps at securing your private data... but are they? And are these services selling my data to advertisers? Today I answer these questions and many more with Zoë MacDonald from Mozilla's Privacy Not Included team who recently published a full report on this topic.
