If they were tracking what I was buying from the company I wouldn’t give a rats ass, in fact I’m quite sure that information is readily available to them.
I’m not a privacy nut, I’m usually poking fun at privacy first people, but I don’t put any app on my phone that I didn’t pay for, or that doesn’t have code I can’t understand (I can’t understand code at all, but there’s a “flashlight widget 'app '” that’s like 50 lines long.
I’m the kind of person to have the McDonalds app in its own isolated profile with its own email and deny it location information because the guvermint can still just ask McDonalds to read those emails you decided to let them read in exchange for tax cuts.
You realize they don’t just read the data they collect right? They make money by selling that data. They sell it to anyone who pays them, even your guvermint.

To many people, not putting an app that you cant see the code of is being a privacy nut.
I worked at a place that used customer phone numbers for internal market research in a less-scummy way.
For instance, if the same customers (tracked by their phone number) purchased lots of X and Z, but not Y, we’d market X and Z together.
I’m the kind of guy who’d let McDonalds read my emails if it gave me a free burger. The only one I don’t want in my private space is my guvermint.
edit: damn, illegal to make jokes about privacy huh
