      Which is fair, but at the same time a solvable problem. The app could process everything locally and save it in your iCloud account, no need for the other company to have your data ever.

      Also the same argument can be made about so many other things. You can’t record a workout on your iPhone if you don’t have a Apple Watch so you need a third party app like Strava to record it. So Strava gets quite some health information about me. Is Apple supposed to also create a full alternative for that too? Where do you draw the line what Apple is responsible for solving?

        It’s not really solvable. Either you give the smartphone usage data to third parties or you don’t. I much prefer not to.

      The best solution, from my POV, is an app that syncs via your own cloud account instead of a central server. Expoentially less risk that way.
