What is this rita app I keep seeing on adverts?

Hey

This app warns about Google making money out of your personal data and starts saying you can too.

Has anyone experienced using this app? i tried it then it froze so I uninstalled it.
Every single company that generates adverts, that you see on your phone or social media is making money from you.
Google tracks your data and sells it to companies that it thinks you'll buy their products. [Source: https://www.security.org/resources/data-tech-companies-have/]
A great way to test this is to look at buying envelopes from the Royal Mail. Next time you browse Facebook, you will more than likely see an advert for envelopes.
Apple, Samsung, Xioami, OnePlus (all phone brands) do this.

To answer your specific question on this 'Rita' app, I have absolutely zero idea whether it's actually called 'Rita' or not.
At least you uninstalled it, so I would just carry on with life.

I wanted to know if anyone else experiencing anything relating to this app.

I like to know. I spend my time reading to understand how scammers try to catch out their victims. It's relevant.
