If you aren't removing all possible Samsung packages with ADB you are having your data flow into the world like the Niagara Falls. Their keyboard even leaked data.
Noticed this today by chance, as I was looking through its settings and found the new entry. This was after I was made to agree to new ToS for that app specifically and had declined to tick the "give us more data" option.
What bugs me about this is that it's enabled by default.
And I'm in a jurisdiction that requires opt in. I expect they've done the analysis and decided that it'll cost less to pay any fines than it will make them in ad revenue. Just a cost of business.
As they say: if a crime's punishment is financial, then it's "legal for a fee."
I do not use Samsung Health. I would discontinue using it just for this alone.
Why the heck is it acceptable now for every company to share everything to third parties?
(screaming into the void)
guess ill continue not using Samsung health lmao
all hail rooted galaxy
all hail vanilla android
Are there any apps on F-droid for workout tracking? I use this app since it reads out my mile splits and some other details. Strava doesn't do that, so I actually use both at the same time
Anyone know any pedometer apps that specifically don't steal all your data?
location changer on google play. your welcome.
You're not welcome. Unless you're rooted, the location changer can only work by using some developer apis which have one big disadvantage: they report that you're doing so, so any app knows that you do it.
