"Rugiet exhibits critical privacy risks through contradictory policies claiming not to sell data while actively sharing with third-party advertisers for cross-context behavioral tracking. The service collects extensive sensitive data including health information, financial records, and biometric identifiers while implementing aggressive cross-site tracking through cookies, pixels, and third-party widgets that cannot be effectively disabled. Automatic consent on site access combined with indefinite data retention and vague opt-outs creates a high-risk environment where users cannot meaningfully control their personal information."
