Could you say more or provide a screenshot? I’m very curious and concerned about this.

For Revolut, I have many many entries like:

ID 894103617218109 Event CUSTOM Received on 13 November 2019 at 09:51

The only event is "CUSTOM".

I use Revolut but my page is empty. I imagine it's because I don't have the Facebook nor Messenger apps installed on my phone.

Same here. I suspect most of the commenters on this post that are confused about how their data got acquired have the FB app and/or Messenger installed on their phones.

I also suspect that soon Whatsapp will be doing the same sinister activity tracking once they go ahead with their plan to introduce ads later this year.
