"OfflineSharks demonstrates high-risk privacy practices comparable to ad-supported platforms like Spotify/Netflix (40-50 range baseline) but elevated to 68 due to aggressive third-party data sharing, multiple tracking technologies, and incomplete policy transparency. The service collects 27+ data categories including sensitive social media contacts, shares broadly with undefined partners, uses tracking pixels and web beacons for campaign analysis, and provides limited user control over core data practices."
