Some app developers have collected excessive amounts of data from users for non-functional purposes, such as selling the data as a commodity.
“One issue of concern is that some app developers have collected excessive amounts of data from users for non-functional purposes, that is, for so-called secondary uses such as selling the data as a commodity (e.g., Spiekermann et al., 2015;Zang et al., 2015).”
From The privacy and control paradoxes in the context of smartphone apps (2022) · cites this paper as Spiekermann et al., 2015
The opening passage of “Personal data markets” (labeled Abstract; page unavailable) describes firms auctioning personal information and a large third-party data marketplace, supporting the claim that user data is traded. It does not say that app developers collected excessive data or that they collected it for purposes unrelated to app functionality. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
