"4duniversity presents a high-risk privacy profile (72/100) comparable to ad-supported social platforms like Spotify, characterized by extensive collection of sensitive data including location, biometric data from livestreams, and special categories (health, political opinions, sexual orientation), combined with broad sharing to advertising networks (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn) and authorization for Hosts to export and use data in external systems. Cross-site behavioral tracking through cookies and advertising IDs enables retargeting across the web, while indefinite data retention by Hosts and lack of deletion guarantees significantly amplify exposure risks. Users have limited control over third-party tracking cookies and marketing emails take weeks to stop, making privacy management difficult."
