Someone worked to make that app, either you pay for it with money or you pay for it with privacy, your choice.

Seems like everyone is going out of their way to tell us how much they “value” our privacy. The value they place on it wouldnt even get a burp from an atm machine

blind3rdeye ,

The way I see it, the companies value our privacy in the sense that they want to take it - to extract that value.

We value your privacy. So if you don’t value it, then give to away to someone who does. In fact, just lets us take it anyway regardless.

Using our implementation of Microsoft recall, we can see that you’re calculating the price for your online purchase of Samsung AiPro Washing machine. We can see you can’t afford it, but don’t worry! We’ve applied a 10% coupon to your purchase so it’d be a bit cheaper for you!

Still not good enough? Try our Ai powered financing application!

Why didn’t every privacy concerned people switched to foss already?

I know right, I’ve been using CalcYou and it’s pretty good!

I’ve been on Calculator++ for ages now. The UI looks a bit different, but it seems like they do all the same things.

Tossing it out there as another option.

Xeroxchasechase ,

I love Calc++!

lurch ,

It doesn’t calculate anything, but sends it to an AI server and displays the number from the answer.

I thought it was the color scheme that was hell at first.

It’s some fresh hellish bug that Android has introduced, it’ll adapt the theme based on your wallpaper. It’s a bug because it always chooses that 70’s brown color. And yes, before you ask, you’re not able to disable it. You have to reset your theme everytime you change your wallpaper.

Yes!

My Xiaomi Redmi 11 keeps telling me the Calculator can’t use the network (why?) and keeps asking me to accept the privacy policy.

Also the app wallpaper - the one that changes the locked screen background image (important complex stuff /s) - also keeps asking me to accept the privacy policy.

And, as far as my reading of the policy goes, these privacy policies are just the one, it’s not a different one for each app.

Aqarius ,

It’s possibly compliance. I know google requires you to have a privacy policy to even publish an app, no matter what.

The calculator is collecting anonymous information about your calculations to calculate whether the operation operators are operating properly.

They are just promising not to share with the government or any private entity that you are the idiot who had to use a calculator to find half of 17, just in case you were worried about someone finding out.

Sibbo ,

You recently calculated 34*5+1. Do you want to buy a new washing machine?
