It probably depends. WHen you access a site via a browser the browser will make certain information visible/available to the site. It's even worse when you use an application on your smart phone. When the application gets installed, it requests "permissions" on your phone, probably things like - access to contacts, camera, microphone, etc..." Most folks when they install an app just click "allow" when that pops up. Giving an app permission to access stuff is not necessarily limited to what you'd think. "I'm not making a video, so they shouldn't access my camera or microphone" That may be true, but that doesn't mean that they don't access camera and microphone when you wouldn't expect. Hell, maybe it's taking photos of you while you watch their videos. Maybe it listens in. Maybe if it has access to your browser, contacts, whatever, then it's uploading list of ever site that you surf or all of your contacts to some server somewhere.
