Both uCampaign, which hosts the LoveBoth app, and Jarbik, which hosts My8, are registered to Political Social Media.

As well as being built to a near-identical template, the two apps share near-identical terms of service for users. A BuzzFeed News analysis of these reveals that users have to agree that their personal data can be shared with any other campaign groups and clients the company chooses.

Privacy policies linked from the iTunes store page for both apps state that as well as sharing personal information with third-party campaigns selected by users from within the apps, uCampaign and Jarbik "may share your personal information with other organizations, groups, causes, campaigns, political organizations, and our clients that we believe have similar viewpoints, principles or objectives as us".



This means data can be shared not just between the two ostensibly separate Irish anti-abortion groups, but also with previous clients such as the NRA, the Trump presidential campaign, the Republican National Committee, and the Susan B. Anthony List, a major US anti-abortion group. In the UK, the network includes the Conservative Party and main pro-Brexit campaign, Vote Leave.

The company has also developed apps for the Australian Christian Lobby and Marriage Alliance, two groups that campaigned unsuccessfully against marriage equality when the country voted on the issue in a postal survey last November.

BuzzFeed News asked uCampaign, LoveBoth, and Save the 8th multiple times whether data collected using the individual apps had been shared between the two campaigns or with any of these other groups, but received no response from any of them.
