      I mean, you’re not. Chances are they’re “partnering” with a private data company and that’s where your data is going!

      I am not as trustful as you it seems ^^

      Also I don’t like to have 1 bajillion smartphone apps for each supermarket and bus service that i’d like to use.

          Worst are the apps that don’t work if you don’t grant them every permission.

          Actually no. Don’t work implies that the permission is necessary for the app’s primary function. Granted, there are legitimate cases of that, like a camera app needing camera access or an texting app needing SMS access. But, dear app developers, your transit locator app don’t need location access to work! I can do this nifty little thing where I tell you where the fuck I am by typing in a location!
