I was looking forward to it but after i saw the data collection section i gave up.
That is pretty standard for an app that has ads an in-app purchases.
Is it? Why would it need access to my purchase history? Is this for supporting in-app purchases?
To see if you purchased the app. You have to keep in mind that these descriptors are very broad and even a miniscule use of one requires it be disclosed.
Oof. That's looks very bad indeed. Is it oficially released yet? I've seen it before on beta/test versions of apps to ease debugging. Public release versions are usually very different regarding data collection needed.
Let's hope so, the Lemmy will probably manage to kill it fast if that's in the actual release!
