Language Learning Apps Harvest Data - eviltoast

I should have known if the apps free, you’re the product. Duolingo appears to harvest the most data compared to other language learning apps.

    I agree it’s still good to know these things.

    I also think there should be reasonable limits on what data they can try to access. Like do Uber need to know my location? Obviously, whilst I’m using the app, but they absolutely don’t need to access my contacts.
