Does an app collect information after installation OR during the first use (or launch)?
I ask because I was thinking of installing apps then moving them to a work profile that is not linked to a Google account or have anything else saved such as contacts or messages.
Kind of a stupid question so please bear with me.
Not sure how I can explain this but if I were to install Shelter and clone apps to the work profile—to skip adding another Google account—will these apps still be able to harvest the information they said they will collect?
For instance:
If I move an app with these permissions to Shelter, and do not link the work profile to a Google account, or have any contacts saved in said work profile, does it mean the app will not be able to collect any of these pieces of information even if I were to use it?
Edit: I suppose a better question is, when does the collecting/sharing happen: as soon as I install an app (NOT referring to Shelter in case it's unclear), OR when I first use an app?
Was researching when I ran across a website that had this pop-up. Recognized it and closed my browser without doing anything else.
Questions please:
