Curiosity with IFTTT

Software
1

I recently had to reconnect one of my services to IFTTT and I took this opportunity to review all the services that I had given IFTTT access.

That led me to ask the following questions:

  • Who owns IFTTT?
  • How IFTTT makes money?
  • Can I trust IFTTT with my data?

My curiosity led to a blog post which may be of interest to you:

Monetising usage and monetising data are two different things. Is IFTTT using my Day One data to make money ? - NO

Is it making money from my usage of Day one IFTTT integration - YES. It’s making money from the developer of Day One. Not me. This is a benefit Day One is providing its customers: Day One + IFTTT

I am using Day One as an example.

This is why it was important for me to understand their business model. Now my interpretation may be incorrect and I am happy to be corrected :slight_smile:

All good mate. I encourage people to test what I am writing. That way we all learn and understand together. :v::balloon:
