Sadly this is not new. Back in the days (at least in 2013) I played with wireshark to find out what dating apps were sharing with advertising platform to generate banners. There was the following data:
- OS platform with version
- Prefered language
- Career network
- Current connection (3g/Wifi).
- Exact position (altitude/latitude/longitude)
- Sexual orientation
- Twitter ID and Facebook ID (as long as the app can have access to it).

But all of this over HTTP, not HTTPS!
