@publicvoit It would be interesting if the involved servers already made it on the popular block lists for ads and tracking blockers

@publicvoitIf privacy or security is a concern, Samsung never was an option but always a nightmare.Though in this instance, it sounds more like they want the same info they think google has but without walking the same fine lines.1. Google location history. Default on.2. Playstore Stats.

@publicvoitBtw: there is also the app usage statistics that every Android collects and which the user can see by dialing *#*#INFO#*#* in the phone app.Every app with android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS can read that."Google Play (Protect) Services", e.g. has this permission and may presumably transmit these stats to google #privacy #malware #smartphones #Android #IronSource #AppCloud
