    On android you can take away all permissions though and it still works fortunately. On my phone i didn’t give it one single permission. Or is there some way to gather sensitive data anyway for the app?

      I don’t think these are permissions, just a list of collected data categories. Google Play’s equivalent is the “Data Safety” section and lists the data collected, shared with third parties, and security practices in use. Basically just a more readable privacy policy, but agreeing to that by installing the app does not grant the app with the equivalent permissions automatically.
