hi

regarding this message
I will be thankful to know a bit more about the privacy pholisophy and methods
I'm really suspicious of apps that share my usage even if it's anonymous
I trust that the information will never be stored or used but I wonder if there is any manifest is can read in this subject or something that can ease my mind when grantting such sensitive permmisions


thank you

No disrespect, but as someone who works in IT at a pretty high level, I honestly don't think all this privacy stuff is as important as people think.

A lot of people will complain about privacy and yet happily use services & products provided by Google, Microsoft, Facebook etc. I mean, pretty much all big companies have been on the news for leaking customer data or collecting customer data. One way or another, your data is collected.

The mere fact that you're using an Android device, with Google services installed (Google Play Services, etc), means your data is already being collected by Google. And yet, I doubt you'll go down the path of using Aurora Store instead of Play Store and removing all GMS related apps and location tracking completely and use micro-G instead.

Unless you're someone like Edward Snowden who really REALLY cares about data privacy and all those other stuff, then chances are you'll still be using services or products that will collect your data one way or another. I mean, there's literally the F-Droid store that has a lot of open source apps and I doubt you'd want to analyze the app packages contents and their permissions to look at exactly what they do.

For a normal person, there's nothing special about your data. Don't store nudes on your phone, don't use crappy passwords and always use a password manager like Bitwarden and just make sure you don't store any important bank account details or whatever on your devices.
