As someone who has worked fraud and online investigations, and both written and served search warrants; it is not an option. A probable cause affidavit is presented to a judge and if the judge agrees there is sufficient probable cause, a search warrant is issued. This is an order by the judge and not optional. The judge can hold the company in contempt if they refuse to obey his/her order.

“helped” is very misleading. Companies can’t refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.

Can I add it to my Amazon wish list?

Anytype has responded and I had a couple other clarifying questions. Their first response:

“Hi! In our privacy policy we include Amplitude & Sentry & explain why we work with them: anytype.io/app_privacy. Currently, you can opt-out by electing local-only or self-hosted network Mode”

Sentry is only used for bug tracking and I don’t have any issue or privacy concerns with that.

I had already looked on their website for a privacy policy and the only one I could locate was a website only privacy policy. I learned later that the application privacy policy is buried as a link somewhere within the website privacy policy. This is not very easy to find.

I reviewed the application privacy policy and it conflicted with their answer stating that a user could opt out of information sharing with Amplitude by using “local only” or “self-hosted”. So I pointed this out and posted this reply to them:

“Also, app privacy policy section for Amplitude states: Amplitude Analytics Purpose: deliver behavioral and app usage data. Opt-out possible: NO”

This is the response I received:

“Indeed this is outdated information, as it was written before self-hosting and local-only mode were properly configurable. Opt-out is now possible using these methods, and we will be updating the policy accordingly.”

Agreed, grab AntennaPod from the f-droid store.

I looked at some of these on my own and found:

• graylog provides data privacy and protection services for companies offering software as a service (SaaS). So this seems legit to me and needed for their core functionality. It is not a marketing or data analytics company.

• amplitude appears to be a data analytics company and on the surface is not needed and Anytype should explain this.

• sentry appears to be an application error tracking company and this seems a legit connection

• api2 seems like a generic server name and likely needed for their core functionality, this seems legit to me

• telemetry also seems like a generic server name; however, the purpose, based on its name does not seem to be needed. Anytype should explain this as well.

I use Anytype (anytype.io) on my phone and desktop. I make a page for each trip and add screenshots of confirmations, maps, itinerary, etc.

Anytype is similar to Notion but is open source and encrypted locally.
