At least 11 popular apps are reportedly sharing people's sensitive data with Facebook, even if they don't have an account on the social network. The Wall Street Journal found that apps which can help track personal information such as body weight, menstrual cycles and pregnancy are sending such details to Facebook.

The apps that were found to share personal data include Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker, BetterMe: Weight Loss Workouts, Breethe, Realtor.com and Instant Heart Rate: HR Monitor.

The social network doesn't seem to be directly at fault here. It instructs developers not to share "health, financial information or other categories of sensitive information" with it.
Facebook said it will force the apps mentioned in the report to stop sharing sensitive data and take action against developers if they don't comply.
