Google harvests your sleeping patterns to sell more targeted ads.
More like Google harvests your __________ to sell more targeted ads.
Very true… They harvest my nut sessions no doubt.
Does it actually?
Yup.
Edit: why do you think google bought Fitbit?
IDK the way it was presented made it feel sarcastic.
Good thing I never sleep.
Ever wonder why you’re getting ads for melatonin?
Even better, 24hr of un stopped ads.
I also have no reflection.
Maybe you should think on that a little.
Every time you look at the app, they share the time you’re seeing with every other user, it’s a privacy nightmare!
Ha! Unlike (some of) you plebs, I live in a very exclusive time zone with less than a billion people in it.
I would guess most timezones have less than a billion people. (Does China still have a single timezone?)
Now I’d be curious to see overall population based on timezone.
Since the Play store requires one
At least Google is adhering to its own policies this time.
Helps that they got sued to hell and back recently.
It seems like alarms can trigger Google Assistant routines. Alarm sounds can either use local ringtones or YouTube Music. These things, Google Assistant and YouTube Music, they are cloud services. I imagine that the clock’s privacy policy is there due to the usage of these cloud services (along with the rule from Play Store that requires every app to have a privacy policy).
The clock also requires location services if you want it automated instead of manually putting the time zone, which most people don’t do, so that’s another thing they mistanage in their privacy policy.
most logical take. people seem to forget that modern apps are tied into all kinds of features that regular users expect to just work. if you want a bare OS with minimalist apps, install lineage or Graphene and only use apps from F-Droid.
This one is open source and privacy respecting.
I don’t even, I can’t even…
Good news gamers, it only works if you sleep alone!
It has sleep tracking with snore and cough tracking
yiu do know that, every two seconds, it goes tiktok?
Since never… Is that the official app? Or some dubious one from the appstore or some manufacturer’s bloatware?
It’s the pre-installed one from Google https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.deskclock
That policy better be really short.
