My old ones broke two days ago and I needed new ones. I chose earbuds from NOTHIHG because according to reviews they are really good for the money. Now, their app is asking me to accept this privacy policy. Maybe this policy is just some general place holder for other products because they sell phones too. And they would have browser history there. Or I could use the earbuds without the app. But the default tuning on them is very bass heavy and I need to change that.

I use DNS resolver on my phone with a lot of filters, so this shit will get blocked. I think I will bite the bullet for now but this is probably the last thing I bought from this company.

I know that there was a big hubub about the app reporting what songs you listened to, to be fair that isn't that terrible as it gives them data about how to tune new headphones.

As for anything else, I don't have the knowledge or experience to determine if an app is spying on me outside of the permission requests.

I am on an iPhone and checked, bose didn't need my location, that is at least something....

No, it absolutely does not.
