⚡ TL;DR

Imagine the apps
just sent you a message.

They don't. But they could. Because they already know it all — based on what apps are legally allowed to collect about you. Lena is fictional. The data behind it is not.

📅 March 2026 🔗 All information with sources
What you're seeing: Fictional but realistic example data — what it might look like if Spotify, Xiaomi, TikTok and Meta simply wrote to you about what they know. Every data point is verifiable. Only the numbers are made up — because no one knows your real numbers except the companies themselves.

🕐
Time & repetitions: Spotify stores when you listen to what and how often — including whether you have a song on repeat.

What fitness trackers store
💓
Heart rate & sleep: Xiaomi, Fitbit and others store heart rate, sleep phases, stress levels and steps — continuously, around the clock.

What TikTok tracks
📱
Accelerometer: TikTok records device movements — even when you put it down while a video is playing. Stated in TikTok's own privacy policy.
⌨️
Keystroke patterns: In the in-app browser, TikTok records what you type — even if you never send it. Documented by security researchers in 2022, confirmed by TikTok.
📍
Location via IP: When you open the app your approximate location is captured — regardless of whether you've granted location access.
👁
Scroll behaviour: You never choose your topic categories yourself. TikTok derives them to the second from your behaviour — the entire time.

What's behind it
What Meta captures
WhatsApp metadata: Message content is encrypted — but when you write, how often, to whom and from where is stored as metadata and passed to Meta.
📲
Linked devices: Every device you connect to WhatsApp Web leaves an IP address, browser type and location — according to WhatsApp's Privacy Policy.
⌨️
Unsent text: Instagram and Facebook capture text in the input field even without sending. Documented by security researcher Felix Krause (2022).
🗑
Deleted drafts: According to Meta's Privacy Policy, story drafts are temporarily stored on Meta's servers — even if you never published them.
That was Part 1.
