Yes!

My Xiaomi Redmi 11 keeps telling me the Calculator can't use the network (why?) and keeps asking me to accept the privacy policy.

Also the app wallpaper - the one that changes the locked screen background image (important complex stuff /s) - also keeps asking me to accept the privacy policy.

And, as far as my reading of the policy goes, these privacy policies are just the one, it's not a different one for each app.

They want your equations on the off chance you accidentally solve one of the Millenia Prize problems.

It could happen if you hit just the right sequence of buttons on a pocket calculator!!

They are just promising not to share with the government or any private entity that you are the idiot who had to use a calculator to find half of 17, just in case you were worried about someone finding out.

The calculator is collecting anonymous information about your calculations to calculate whether the operation operators are operating properly.

You can replace your calculator, as well as your clock, contacts, record, translate, and more pretty easily. It's well designed, and it's FOSS!

You can also use this calculator app, as well as camera, recorder, gallery, dialer, text messages, and more. Also well designed and also FOSS

It doesn't calculate anything, but sends it to an AI server and displays the number from the answer.

I pay 5,99 a year for glasswire and cut all apps internet access unless necessary, browsers and such.

I'd pay 5.99 for Glasswire

Then if they want me to pay every year for the same product I already bought they can shove their glass wire up their sphincter
