To be clear, it sounds like MoPub/Grindr/OKCupid aren't selling people's data. Instead, they reveal personal information (for free?) to hundreds of advertising networks when hosting auctions for ad inventory.

That would mean that after getting approved as an ad-network on MoPub, you can get all 1.5B users' data for free, just by participating in the auction (without even having to win and spending money in auctions).

Does anyone on HN happen to have a sample bid request from MoPub that demonstrates the actual data that's made available to ad networks (DSPs)?
