Removing Third-Party apps will really secure you Facebook Account.?

I removed about 230 apps from my Facebook account that have access to my Personal information including - Age,Gender,religion,Photos,Friends List,Post,Comments,Email Address. the shocking thing when i checked before removing them . i got a popup which say "Note: Tengi may still have the data you shared with them. For details about removing this data, please contact Tengi or visit the Tengi Privacy Policy." but no working link or way to contact them to remove the data.

Below are the things i got suspicious about.

some of the apps have Same Privacy and Policy like this url - http://a.pgtb.me/privacy.(Facebook Please Look into this because majority apps have this i hope so).
Some of them are using fake domains,Expired Domains as privacy& Policy link,also leads to malicious,phishing websites.
Some of them leads to Parallel Plesk default page hosted on https://hostindia.net.from there you can get the admin panel URL like the URL - http://fbdigital.hungama.org:8443.
The interesting thing is that one app leads to Avira antivirus general-privacy policy page & the other one leads to Facebook app development page as privacy policy page.
some of the Apps leads to Deceptive site which will trick you into doing something dangerous like software or revealing personal information like passwords or credit cards - here is the URL i got on one app -fbappwork.com/themobilestore/samsung/terms/php.
some of the application leads to an Error page which says "Sorry,the application you were using is misconfigured. please try again later like this one - fbappwork.com/themobilestore/samsung/terms/php.
