@parvXtl @chrisisgr8 every app on Google Play is required to have a privacy policy (it uses a generic Google one), it sends telemetry and crash reports, and i think you can set the alarm ringtone to something from Spotify or YouTube Music

@chrisisgr8 If a clock needs a privacy policy it's doing something that should be illegal, but isn't because of money. 🫠

@gilgwath @chrisisgr8 Or by regulatory or vendor policy, all apps are required to have a privacy policy including the Clock app (see jwz.org/xscreensaver/google.ht)

But why have such a seemingly nonsensical policy? Likely due to rampant abuse and excessive data gathering by bad actor apps that reflect the core values of surveillance capitalism - hoover up as much personal data as possible for resale and abuse. Line must go up, shareholder value must be enhanced by any means necessary.

Big Time wants your data: don't argue with it, or it'll increase your Existence Tariff.

@chrisisgr8 If it looks like a clock, sounds like a clock, and runs like a clock, it's probably harvesting your data.

@chrisisgr8 No. It only masquerades as a clock.

Delete the spyware.

@chrisisgr8 WHY IS THERE A PRIVACY POLICY FOR A CLOCK 😭🙏🙏

@chrisisgr8 They gotta make sure you can't sue them if your phone shows you a wrong time and you miss your bus.

@chrisisgr8 Sure, but if you used to set certain timers and alarms every 28 days, then suddenly stop, I'm going to assume you are pregnant and sell that information to your right wing government so they can monitor you and make sure you don't get an abortion.

@chrisisgr8 they are probably selling your alarm clock to ads people

(feel free to tell me if anyone has a swe internship next year i'm trying to get that figured out early :ablobfoxbongohyper: )

@chrisisgr8 i think for my mental health i shouldn't ask why a clock app has a privacy policy

Mittzy

@chrisisgr8 And if you buy clock+ we'll use gemini to query the time every second

Görllewin

@chrisisgr8 it's not just a clock, you can set alarms, timers, stopwatch, bedtime routines, sleep sounds, and it all integrates with Google Assistant, Google Home, voice command setc. So a privacy policy is absolutely necessary (and also a prerequisite for ALL apps on Google Play store)

@chrisisgr8 and it’s time to sell your information
