"Yes. And also we'll need access to your contacts, location 24/7, your photos, microphone, and possibly your soul."

@Tutanota to tell iOS not to track does not mean anything. There is a study which says that 80% of the software developers ignore this, because it is a recommendation and not enforced.
And this setting is meant for external app but has no meaning to apple app. The same is true in google.
