Well, if it's not fear, is there another reason you don't want application or webapp developers tracking your usage of their services? I mean, isn't the whole point of these services that you store your data remotely on their services? Why would you voluntarily choose to use something like Gmail, Instagram, Twitter, Dropbox etc, if you were concerned about the company in question or didn't trust them? There are companies I won't use, precisely because of concerns like this (e.g. Sony, Lenovo) - but if somebody chooses to use a service, it's probably because the benefits of that service outweigh the "costs" to them. In the case of Amazon Underground, which is the subject of the OP, I think it's a bit disingenuous to say, oh gee, I want free paid apps, but I don't want to allow Amazon to track my usage....which is sort of how the app developers get re-compensated. Assuming you have voluntarily chosen to use a webapp or mobile app what are the key objections around those developers collecting telemetry data from you? |
