<![CDATA[Tracking Code in Opera App and Privacy Policy]]>According to Exodus-Privacy Report *1 the Opera for Android App contains tracking code for ten (10!) Trackers. Specifically these are:

  • AppsFlyer
  • Facebook Ads
  • Facebook Analytics
  • Facebook Login
  • Facebook Share
  • Flurry
  • Google Ads
  • Google Firebase Analytics
  • Inmobi
  • LeanPlum

In your Privacy Policy for "Opera for Android" *2 you mention:

  • Google Location-Services
  • AppsFlyer
  • AppBoy
  • AdMarvel (which uses Facebook SDK)

That leaves Flurry, Inmobi and LeanPlum totally unaccounted for in your privacy policy. Google Tracking seems to be more than just Location-Services and AdMarvel does not just add Facebook SDK, but specifically adds Facebook tracking code.
I believe you should update your privacy policy accordingly.

Personally, I was shocked to learn that Opera for Android contains so much tracking code from so many different companies, which all monitor the websites that I visit. I am now actively selecting apps based on privacy and protection of my personal data and I am afraid that I will have to look for a new web-browser. Very disappointed!
Bye Bye Opera.

For some things we have to use workarounds or leave it.

However, the question is not: How can I best protect my privacy with a browser that obviously leaks my data to quite a few third-party services.
The question is: Should I be using Opera, if they are using so much tracking code in their app.
For me the answer is totally clear.
Uninstalled Opera, now using Firefox and Chrome as second browser.

And Opera Touch contains only 3 trackers. So, why a such difference between those two apps ?
