I assume that virtually all mobile apps are sharing your data. That's the entire business model of mobile: offer a "free" service as a pretext to get an app onto the phone and then spy on the user as much as possible.

It's part of why I avoid apps whenever possible. I only install an app if it's a service I really need and there is no other way to use it, e.g. via the web. Web sites can still track but they can't suck location data, sensor data, etc.
