Privacy Conclusion

"Remote's privacy practices pose critical risks due to extensive collection of behavioral, biometric, and sensitive classification data combined with broad, monetized sharing with advertisers, employers, and unspecified third parties. Cross-site tracking via cookies and web beacons enables persistent profiling and targeted advertising that users cannot decline without losing service functionality. Indefinite retention of deleted data in archival logs, combined with inability to remove previously-shared profile data from employer systems, creates permanent privacy exposure."
