Just saw a news report about Temu and privacy concerns. How safe are my paying information on their app?

Temu doesn't sell user data, but it does share it with shipping affiliates and marketing providers, which indirectly generates revenue. The app's payment security is questioned due to data collection, security, and lawsuits.

The company collects purchase history, browsing activity, and possibly device data, raising security concerns. The app has been accused of requesting excessive permissions and being difficult to secure.

US class-action lawsuits against Temu over data privacy, particularly user data collection and handling, raise privacy concerns.

Users should read Temu's privacy policy to understand data collection and use to reduce risk. Installation permissions should be minimal for app functionality. If you don't like using debit/credit cards on the app, try virtual credit cards or prepaid cards for Temu purchases. Keep an eye on bank statements and credit card statements for suspicious charges after Temu.
