    Ddg has an app tracker add on, ive installed it so long ago cant remember the sequence, it should be in the faq, obs there are other app trackers out there, maybe someone can recommend. If u have a vpn it might be running in the background blocking for u.

    Cheers born again, i just want an app that doesnt spy on my spending and no hassel using it. 

    I don't have any issue like this on iOS and only have the vanilla version of DDG.
    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    Im an android user, so .....low hanging fruit. I will ask monzo if the two systems are treated differently when they answer. 
  • Have you contacted Monzo’s DPO? That may yield better results for something like this than trying to communicate your privacy concerns about the issue to whoever is on the other end of the in app chat.

    They provide contact information in their privacy notice:

    Im beyond the live chat, i am still waiting for their specialist dept to contact me. Im going through each level to be fair on them and give them a chance to explain. Its actually more interesting to look at the independant companies they allow to access the app. I do not know what they are collecting. I am simply asking monzo to tell me, i am only concerned with my data, tnx for posting

    You do not use a browser to access an app. 
    Duck duck go is a browser that includes an app tracker that monitors all your apps. Vpn can do the same

    Yes, thank you, I wasn't aware of that.
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.
