Worth to note that on a manufacturer implementation the consent is not buried in some pages-long policy. It's an explicit, separate item, which contains "sends your location data" and "may operate even when no apps are running" in the first paragraph.

- rcxdude 4y agoMy phone (from Sony) uses this and is making these requests, and I can neither find anything in settings which would allow me to opt out, nor do I remember such an example during set-up (and I always go out of my way to refuse such things).
- rickdeckard 4y agoI don't know which Sony device you have, but the setting is probably in [Settings]-[About Phone]-[Usage info settings]. The question about data-collection is asked during initial setup (iirc depending on Android version it's either on the very first page of the startup wizard labeled "Important Information", or it's shown as a Notification after the Wizard is completed), but I admit Sony has a quite elaborate list of License Agreements and they make it quite "frictionless" to just confirm everything. Anyway, I can't tell how Sony implemented it across all its models and years, but to stay on-topic, community-OS's are not really a benchmark for End-User License Agreements on privacy-data (which is what that company in this article was benchmarking against its commercial product)
