I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.


Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

No, that's legit! Also, not something 99.9% of people who complaint about privacy do.

People have a complete right to complain about privacy and make their own choices with what they find acceptable. All of those examples you listed are where people are making a concious choice. Apps sneaking in data collection is not acceptable, people are most likely to already trust the app when the rug is pulled from under them.
