My concerns are not driven by paranoia, but by my responsibility as a consumer.

In my very first post within this thread I said, that Jolla Ltd. is worse than Apple and Google. It was not wise to put it like that, because Jolla Ltd. obviously collects less data than the other 2 companies.

However, as a consumer, if I have a choice to spend my money to a company that collects much data, less data and no data I tend to choose the company that collects no data unless the other companies cannot convince me that they have good reasons for infringing privacy.

I am convinced that "privacy" is valuable per se and that "data collecting" is only valuable if it serves a particular purpose. I know that collecting data may be useful sometimes, however I don't want to support companies that collect data without a good reason.

I'd rather call it idealistic.

I am following the thread in Jolla Ltd. and hope that the question why repository metadata is associated with the user and not with the device will be answered.
