Some interesting findings:

Did you know that as of July 14, 2018 Instagram (which is owned by Facebook) will fully adopt all of Facebook's privacy policies? That should not be comforting to you.
Sonos, the home-speaker system company, stated, "We have never and will never sell it [your personal data] to third parties."
Zomato's, a restaurant-finding app, updated privacy policy is very clear, stating, "We may share your information with outside vendors that we use for a variety of purposes, such as to send you emails and messages on behalf of other Zomato members."
The New Yorker (parent company Condé Nast) stated, "We acquire Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that may include, in certain contexts, your name, postal address, zip code, email address and telephone number. We also acquire your IP address, user ID, and/or device ID, which certain jurisdictions consider to be PII because it could be used to identify an individual or device if it were combined with other identifying information."
DICK'S Sporting Goods has a similar privacy policy, which states, "We may receive information you provide on behalf of third parties, or third parties provide on behalf of you, including but not limited to gift recipients, online registrations/purchases, ship-from-store, in-store pick-up, registries or as a result of your interactions with other users on our team sports or event websites."

So far, Sonos has the best/most comfortable privacy policy for my tastes.
