I’m trying to understand how an app would even get that info in the first place, how that’s classified and why a mobile operating system even has a way to provide that data.
Am I correct in assuming that if an app is used without play store / play store framework that it would not be able to get access to that data?
Thanks!
That’s the attitude that gets people hooked in the first place.
Now see if you can extend that further and see how a company having intimate knowledge of your behaviour could be a problem.
Think about manipulation. Is there a reason you want to buy that crochet hook? Does it have to do with Meta knowing you just had a niece and were browsing on Pinterest, and already have a size 8 and 12 hook but no 10, so then they stuck a child oriented project in your feed that just happens to use the hook you don’t have?
