Thanks for the information royal

Ah well. I'm sure China owns a bunch Apps available on the app store which users agree to give up their private data anyways.

Or they gave up the private data to an American owned App that in turned sold it to another marketing company in America which then sent it to China

People so worried about govs getting their private info they forget they already gave it all up to play game

Thats why I got the DTek50. great phone to prevent that stuff. Can still play games without giving up the info you agree to give up. neat eh.
