Dashlane tracks its paying customers for ad (re)targeting

5 points by FrenchAmerican 4 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


Exodus privacy and TrackerControl apps on Android reveal that Dashlane tracks its paying customers and resell that data for targeting and/or retargeting.

I wouldn't have been surprised if that was the case for a free tool but I find it outrageous to discover that as a paying customer. I have been an early adopter of Dashlane, among the 10,000 first users and never regretted my choice. Until today. I feel betrayed.

I guess that was mentioned somewhere in the legalese that nobody reads.

Time to move to KPassX I guess.

Note: yes, I know that from a security point of view, using Daslane means trust them with your passwords - since I can't tell if they really don't keep a non-encrypted version of my data.

Issn’t it just as likely they are tracking you to *avoid* targeting you with ads?

Why not give Bitwarden a spin, even if self-hosted?
