Hi, I installed a wallpaper app that is collecting personal info. It uses my search history (safari) and Amazon purchases/searches to display ads in the app. For instance, I remember googling "Ucla management classes" and I also recently purchased the items shown in the ads, on Amazon. It's the first time I've seen this. Is this normal?
