ZesusHVWritter: Ok, enjoy your insecurity with whatever device you're using. Thank you. |

Google "have i been pwned", visit the website and entire your email address. It will tell you what services have collected and leaked your data due to breaches or hacks. There are a lot of apps and websites that collect user information and sell them for ads. It's not really restricted to OEMs and ISPs. Why I am not in support of data collection, it's best to be open about it. I have been using Google services for over 9 years and I am pretty sure they know how many times are eat a day. Internet privacy, quite frankly, doesn't exist.

festwiz:I did and my data has never been touched. I guess I do take my privacy and follow through when accepting any privacy request from apps. Screenshot attached below. And to prove you wrong by your means, after verifying that site, I inputed my email and it showed the Internet is not unsafe, but like the world, if you are careless with your approach you become a prey to a predator. Internet privacy do exist, only if you don't pay attention to details will you be a public rag for any company to take advantage of.

This app on playstore has over 10million+ downloads, over 4.6 ratins. bobble ai keyboard A screenshot is attached below about the app. This app has so many privacy violations that no sane person should allow it access. In fact, I am amazed at how it's still on the Google play store. Because the world is filled with persons who has been taught to not care about something as important and critical as their privacy it has over 10million persons who probably has it installed and using the app on their devices. The thing is, this company cannot be sued because except you are gullible enough to just be ticking "yes" to every of their privacy access request you won't use this snooping app. So if you allowed the app in, then it's your problem. Not Google, not the developer. But your problem. Afterall android is open source. This is nothing like xiaomi's case. No Xiaomi user or Mint Browser ever accepted to be monitored or their privacy comprised like xiaomi is doing right now. No where on Xiaomi's privacy policy was it stated that xiaomi will be allowed to do that to any user.

Still on bobble ai keyboard matter. I was complaining to a team about the app when I stumbled upon the issue involving xiaomi breaching users privacy and agreement. If you look at the date on the screenshot below, you will see that I wrote developer even before the xiaomi issue. So you can see I take my privacy seriously. And just like xiaomi is doing, read the developers reply to my enquiry. As if I am a newbie to the android ecosystem and keyboard app usage.

KrazyDave16:Yes sir. Those. If such access is granted then you have no right to come crying that you are being accused of cyber crime. Those information combined, is enough to create a cyber footprint of you on the web. |

ZesusHVWritter: Unfortunately no one reads ToS or double check to be sure apps they using are not data mining. I've never used the browser cos of the ToS and I'm glad I made that choice. |

one of the reasons I'll always stay on the android os with a reputable manufacturer I.e those with SD chips The ability to twrp, root and strip the idiot down and install lightweight and FOSS apps that JUST does what it was meant to do no extra bells and whistles That's why some app modders and reverse engineers can't be blamed some times Just reading this thread after watching SNOWDEN this morning Anyways I thank the Lord Jesus for His death and resurrection to give me and anyone wiling to follow Him the opportunity to choose good and DO GOOD HVWriter kudos, don't loose yourself PS I never liked the mint browser or any stock browser from day one When i compare mint, chrome et all to via browser I just can't stay easy Via browser <2mb Mint, chrome et al >15mb size is an understatement Difference in size equals extra codes Extra codes equals more storage and RAM needed And via browser can do all mint and chrome can So why the extra codes? Those greedy people are using my phone storage and RAM to collect analytics on me!!! I don't wanna shout...

Aceed:I have been using monument browser for almost a month now, after reviewing it. Browser is just 1.6mb in size. Definitely going to check the via browser out. Thanks, The Lord got me, I can't lose Him. |

ZesusHVWritter: You seem to have a lot of time on your hands to offer long elaborate answers. You also seem to be so concerned about what your data is used for. It would be out of place for me to wonder why because everything about you seem to be irrelevant. If I were a data company I will discard your data before it even comes in. What trade secret or security information does your data contain? If I were involved with national security or trade secrets, then I would be more concerned about what my data is used for. |

Xiaomi has sent an update to the mi browser. Waiting for checks to be sure the browser is privacy infringement free this time and the details available on the app update details is not just an hoax...
