Heya, as the title suggests. I have tried the KDE Initary (on mobile), but the user experience didn’t quite flop-my-mop. It is however the better one in terms of privacy as far as I have found. Are there any other ones that you folks know of and would recommend? Looking for an app that specifically can hold boarding passes.

Thanks in advance :=)

      I looked at some of these on my own and found:

      • graylog provides data privacy and protection services for companies offering software as a service (SaaS). So this seems legit to me and needed for their core functionality. It is not a marketing or data analytics company.

      • amplitude appears to be a data analytics company and on the surface is not needed and Anytype should explain this.

      • sentry appears to be an application error tracking company and this seems a legit connection

      • api2 seems like a generic server name and likely needed for their core functionality, this seems legit to me

      • telemetry also seems like a generic server name; however, the purpose, based on its name does not seem to be needed. Anytype should explain this as well.

        Anytype has responded and I had a couple other clarifying questions. Their first response:

        “Hi! In our privacy policy we include Amplitude & Sentry & explain why we work with them: anytype.io/app_privacy. Currently, you can opt-out by electing local-only or self-hosted network Mode”

        Sentry is only used for bug tracking and I don’t have any issue or privacy concerns with that.

        I had already looked on their website for a privacy policy and the only one I could locate was a website only privacy policy. I learned later that the application privacy policy is buried as a link somewhere within the website privacy policy. This is not very easy to find.

        I reviewed the application privacy policy and it conflicted with their answer stating that a user could opt out of information sharing with Amplitude by using “local only” or “self-hosted”. So I pointed this out and posted this reply to them:

        “Also, app privacy policy section for Amplitude states: Amplitude Analytics Purpose: deliver behavioral and app usage data. Opt-out possible: NO”

        This is the response I received:

        “Indeed this is outdated information, as it was written before self-hosting and local-only mode were properly configurable. Opt-out is now possible using these methods, and we will be updating the policy accordingly.”

      I’ve contacted Anytype about this and will post their response.

      I run Graphene OS on my phone and have an always on VPN connection. Plus I use a different email address, username, and password for 99% of my accounts. So I don’t worry about telemetry, analytics, or data marketing anymore.
