The app doesn’t capture anything that you don’t specifically agree to when it pops up and asks if you want to give it access to it. I’ve been using the app for months and I simply said “no” when it asked the “request to track” question. I can literally see that it has zero access to any of my data on my phone.
It’s not actually that simple. Maybe you click no and don’t give the app access to your contact, but your friends who have you on their contact list might click yes, and now they have your contact info despite you clicking no. I imagine they’ll have similar tricks for gathering other type of data as well.
Which means the extra data they can grab via their mobile app is worth at least that much to them, if not more.
