Edit: Below is my original post, will not edit original in an attempt to be transparent as it provides context to those comments. Several good comments outlining what could be going on were posted as well. Seems the list of "know to track" from that service (Google) is very different from what was actually requested by this specific app. 36 attempts so far were made, but DDG does not specify of what type.

Original: So this seems like a pretty intense level of tracking. Certainly much more than any of the other lemmy apps I have tried. I get advertisements, totally fine with them earning money, but it took me by surpise.

If I look at the privacy policy, it certainly does not indicate to me this level of monitoring.

For the record, I am not implying deception on the devs part at all, I am sure things are spelled our correctly in the privacy policy. Just wasn't sure everone was aware of the extent.

Cheers!

Edit: some people are implying I was trying to mislead with my title. For clarity I am using duckduckgo track blocker "App Tracking Protection" and it states "Tracking Attempts" https://ibb.co/DzWMFMy

The list on the original post is what data is being attempted to pull and the protection stopped as far as i can tell.

Edit 2: updated title to be more clear. Wasn't aware I could even do that!
