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?

Aurenkin ,

Something about this just doesn’t add up.

5wim ,

If only there was a way to get to the root of the problem.

zerofk ,

It will require our undivided attention.

prex ,

To get even.

henfredemars ,

I can’t even imagine what data there is to collect for an application this simple.

That privacy policy better be really short.

On the bright side, a simple calculator ought to have plenty of free and open source alternatives that don’t harvest any data.

Every orher day I enter sets from my workout so my dumbass can remember when I have done 200 squats. My knees hurt.

Your calculator would like access to your contacts.

Your calculator would like permission to send and receive phone calls.

Your calculator would like permission to view and delete emails.

Please click AGREE to proceed.

How else are we supposed to be able to share calculations to your social network???

takeda ,

There is also information that is provided that the phone no longer asks/announces.

Evotech ,

Whatever they can get their grubby hands on

I believe it’s about how often the app is used. Advertisers label people with “gullible” and stuff like this, so when you use a calculator regularly, that may be a hint that you are not.

victorz ,

Or maybe that you are, if your dumb ass is entering basic-ass calculations. 😅

Sibbo ,

True. In the end, they are gonna use some statistical methods to find what is more true. Using also all the other data they have about you.

takeda ,

Well, everything else that’s not calculations.

This is why everyone is trying to have their app installed, there’s a lot of information that the phone provides, and now you no longer get warned what data is available.

victorz ,

That privacy policy better be really short.

Clicking through to the policy from within the app just sends you to the general policy across Google. Very long.

If you type in 867-5309, Jenny will call you back!

That's because she is very old and lives in a retirement home. She has nothing else to do but prank call people.

They want to monetize any proofs you find.

Now get to work crunching numbers.
