Healthcare websites that deploy advertising and analytics trackers may capture sensitive health-related browsing behavior, which HHS OCR has indicated can constitute protected health information (PHI) requiring HIPAA-compliant handling.
Healthcare website visitors, including those seeking mental health or chronic condition care, may have their browsing behavior tracked by multiple third-party platforms, which raises data sensitivity concerns specific to health-related contexts.
For a financial services platform holding highly sensitive data, the use of third-party behavioral tracking tools on core product pages raises questions about whether behavioral data derived from financial account interactions is being shared with advertising technology providers.

The TikTok pixel collects behavioral and event data from the advertising portal; the terms governing what data is collected, how long it is retained, and how it is used for ad targeting or optimization are not fully disclosed in the transmitted page and require review of TikTok's full data processing documentation.
The TikTok Pixel is TikTok's primary tool for tracking user behavior across websites; its presence on the Ads Manager login page means even prospective advertisers are being tracked before they create an account.
These trackers collect behavioral data that may be shared with Google and other companies, expanding the footprint of data collection beyond Public.com itself.

The collection of viewing behavior — not just what you post, but what you read — creates a detailed profile of your interests and opinions that goes beyond what most users would expect from a social media platform.
