The Broad Lens
Maggie MaybeIf 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.

#AfterPay new rules are now in force for #ButNowPayLater companies in #Australia.
If you’ve received an email, read it!
So far, I’m okay with the changes.
I DID lose $1,000 of extra credit I had, but they appear to have lowered that for everyone.
Steve Dustcircle 🌹More #Klarna #customers are defaulting on their '#buynowpaylater' #loans
#Buynow, #paylater plans through companies like #Affirm, #Afterpay and Klarna generally let #consumers split #payments for #purchases into #installments.
Hmmm. Pricey, but they do take #AfterPay…
