Re: Like to have an expert check the privacy statement & app

I believe your downvoters (for the record, I'm not one of them on either post) are concerned that the app will collect or retain data not specified in more readable statements. It is possible to do one's research by reading the published source, manually build, and attempt comparisons between that and published binaries, but it's not easy. I'm sure it will happen. If I was in the U.K., I would probably spend time doing so. Depending on your level of trust in the government, you may disagree on the need to do such research anyway.
