The iOS app requires extensive user tracking data according to the App privacy section: https://i.postimg.cc/1zX7hkcV/IMG-5265.jpg

Could you elaborate why data like browsing history, emails, text messages, and much more are needed to track users for the app?

we actually removed most of the tracking because they're not necessary, should be updated in a new release

What tracking is necessary and thus you haven't removed?

contact info & identifiers, same as most apps (tiktok, instagram etc)
