I alwayse check this before downloading apps because i dont want apps to spy on me. And what i noticed in practise is that usualy payd apps offten dont collect any data and even if they do its less data than free apps.

So obviusly they collect that data to sell it and to make money that way. And if you think only big companies for advertising buy that data you are wrong.

Gowermants, secret organizacions and milioners who want to control your life is bying that data the most.

Well i think education is the cay because if people have freedom to chose than we dont strictly need any regulations about that, exscept those that say you have to mention what will you do with data in agreement papers.

There is so much good open source software today that people should realy be more aware about what open source actualy means and why privacy is so important..

And about this screen, whenever i see interesting game on app store i check this page and refuse to install it if it looks like this.

And when i search for an app i refuse to install app like this and search further until i find app for same purpose but without data colection.

Thats why i more like to see small price on app than to see it free. Because its more likly payed app will have no data colected banner. :)

And i think thats a win win situacion both for developers and us.
