If you have ever used Afterpay you should go shut off the targeted ads option.

This is sketchy too. They don’t sell our data but they’ll “share” it so we can be shown ads outside of Afterpay. What does that even mean??

Does Afterpay sell my data? No. Afterpay does not sell your personal data to other brands. Brands only receive aggregated reports about how their ads performed, not information that identifies you. To help show you personalized ads outside of Afterpay, we may share limited information with our advertising technology service providers. They are subject to contractual limitations on how they can use this information and are required to protect it.
