But an important point mentioned is to do with those agreements ( or options ) made with an app prior to that app being acquired by the “big boys and girls”. In these never-ending moments of consolidation where new popular apps are acquired by the major players, how do we know that privacy options we agreed to are still applicable under the new consolidated provider?

Shouldn’t it be a requirement, then, that privacy rules be reworded in such a way as to take into account agreements made prior?
