Outlook got updated on my iPhone last night and now they want me to agree to having my data shared with 807 partners.

Important note: I don’t use outlook as my primary email provider. I use Proton with a custom domain but I keep outlook for some old emails.

    That’s what the decline all button is for. You’re being asked, you can say no. Thanks, privacy laws!

    Most of those partners will probably just be companies that show you banner ads, and “your information” probably comes down to “your IP address”.

      Many apps share some data right at the start of the app though, before the consent form even pops up.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Outlook did that

        Maybe. The popup comes up pretty quickly after starting the app, so I have no idea if this applies here. Either way, this is why I filter out trackers on the DNS level as much as I can.
