This is not ok - Lemmy

Saw this today and now I’m reconsidering if Boost is right for me. I’m really hoping this is shitty boiler plate that was accidentally copied and over looked because that is some bullshit to say “unless we decide we want to use your personal data for whatever we want”. I know “legitimate interest” is a phrase from the cookies law but there is no legitimate interest justification for this. My data is my data and advertisers can fuck off, as can Boost if this the direction it’s going.

This is big no no for me.
I feel a big part of my concern is addressed by the dev’s explanation and I now know it’s a problem with Google’s ad network with its terms and conditions though they’re all pretty similar in that regard unfortunately. I feel comfortable enough purchasing the app now which removes the rest of my concern because that removes any tracking associated with ads in the free version.
I have to agree. I also bought the ad-free version.
