Yeah and that means the data that you share with Soundcloud.

It's very different from:

> ps aux # Every running process with full arguments

If you think these two cases are even remotely comparable, I don't know what to tell you.

I’m not in a position, nor do I have the skills, to fully validate exactly what I’m agreeing to. Let us assume that what I’m sharing is merely my app usage data: what I listen to, my likes, follows, comments, usage patterns, etc.

They share this data with 954 “partners” - what exactly does this mean? What other data do those organisations have? Who do they share it with?

I don’t think the average user has any chance of fully understanding what they’re agreeing to.
