That’s what I do, but they tied my work email to my LinkedIn profile anyway… I keep my personal life offline aside from work and use pseudonyms on systems like this, so they aren’t linking the rest of my life, but they didn’t have any issues tying down my professional identity.
Just a warning that LinkedIn and the like try to link your private and corporate information.
The obvious next question is: what features do these apps have in common? Do they share a development platform or ad network? Do they use Firebase or some other diagnostics/debug platform?
Because I suspect that they’re all using some sort of “free” or ad supported component that just happens to be owned by a shell company belonging to either a data broker or a company selling large amounts of data to one.
