"fourhourseo presents a high privacy risk (score: 68) comparable to mainstream ad-supported services like Netflix/Spotify, driven by extensive collection of personal, device, and location data combined with broad sharing to advertising networks and third-party service providers. The company retains user data indefinitely even after account deletion, charges €30 for comprehensive data deletion, and transfers data internationally with acknowledged varying privacy protections. Multiple tracking technologies enable behavioral advertising with limited user control, and the policy's age (last updated 2018) and vague retention standards further compound privacy exposure."
