Data Collection without consent? - OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

The following youtube video explains that OnePlus is been keen in mapping PII (Personally Identifiable Information) in data collection by mapping serial numbers user accounts and usage details? Isn't it a threat to the privacy? OnePlus's Oxygen OS being considered the most user-friendly version of android collecting such information isn't it a bad reputation to the company?
Youtube Engadget Video:
A similar instance was noted before when Device serial number was passed to check for updates earlier. Shouldn't a company correct itself from past mistakes? All the media that time was slamming OnePlus for such an irresponsible act! But why again?
Couldn't the data be anonymised in the device and then be transmitted which would at least make it safe to a certain extent. This is exactly what other manufacturers do!
and just by using HTTPS to the maximum extent it could prevent any network intruders. but what if the AWS server hosting the data is compromised it is a big threat to all OnePlus users or if some insider mishandles the data which could be a catastrophe.
More evidence of the data collected https://www.chrisdcmoore.co.uk/post/oneplus-analytics/

Just worried OnePlus user!

1. THE CONSUMER INFORMATION THE SMART PROJECTS COLLECTS FOR THE SERVICES
When Consumers use The Smart Projects applications or engage with our Customers (e.g., by using their mobile applications or viewing an ad provided by our Customers, or by using an app that has integrated our software development kit (“SDK”)), we may collect or receive Device Data that may (but does not necessarily) include the following:
Information you provide when you download and use some of our applications.
Precise geolocation data pertaining to Consumers’ devices, which may be expressed by latitude-longitude coordinates obtained through GPS tools, WiFi data, cell tower triangulation or other techniques (collectively, “Device Geolocation Data”) and linked to a device identifier, such as the IDFA for iOS devices or Android ID for Android devices;
Predicted or actual data about a Consumer such as age, gender, date of birth, street address; predicted or actual characteristics or interests; and any information that Consumers provide to The Smart Projects or to The Smart Projects’ Customers;
Other information about a Consumer’s device, such as: device type (e.g., tablet, smartphone), operating system, IP address, network provider, mobile carrier, mobile browser type (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Safari), other apps and SDKs installed on the device, timestamp, time zone, information about the speed, bearing, orientation, and altitude of a device, or other device-identifying information;
Information about the possible relationships among different devices; and/or
Data about Consumer activities that helps The Smart Projects determine how a Consumer interacts with advertising or content, such as determining whether a Consumer who viewed a particular advertisement ultimately purchased the advertised product or service.
The Device Data that The Smart Projects receives from its Customers or from Consumers may be combined with additional information The Smart Projects collects or receives from third-party sources. For example, The Smart Projects may have information about consumer products, events held at specific locations, street addresses, and categories of geographic locations. While such information is associated with a specific device, it is treated as Device Data.
Please see Section 5 below for a description of the information that The Smart Projects collects through its Site and in connection with The Smart Projects accounts.
2. HOW THE SMART PROJECTS USES DEVICE DATA TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES
The Smart Projects generally uses the Device Data it collects or receives for the following purposes:
to operate, maintain, enhance, and provide the Services described below; and
to improve and market the Services, and to create new features and functionality.
The Smart Projects’ Services help application developers, publishers, advertisers, marketers, and other companies and organizations learn more about Consumers based on Device Data including Device Geolocation and Application Data. For example, the Services help Customers:
provide more relevant content or advertising to Consumers over time and across multiple devices;
identify other Consumers that may be interested in their offerings;
measure the performance of Customers’ content, services, and advertising (for instance, what effect certain ads, as opposed to other ads, have), or trends or preferences among Consumers (for instance, what types of Consumers generally tend to shop at certain stores); or
learn about how Customers’ apps can perform better.
The Smart Projects may also work with third parties, such as brands, advertising agencies, media platforms and publishers (such as app developers), and other advertising platforms to improve their own services. The above list is not exhaustive, but it is intended to provide illustrative examples of how The Smart Projects uses the Device Data it collects and receives. The Smart Projects may retain the Device Data:
for interest-based advertising, ad delivery, and reporting purposes for approximately 24 months;
for other business purposes (such as technical developments) for such period as The Smart Projects considers reasonably necessary. After this The Smart Projects will delete or de-identify the Device Data.
The Smart Projects may retain Device Data beyond these time periods as required by law.
3. HOW THE SMART PROJECTS DISCLOSES INFORMATION THROUGH THE SERVICES

Some of these Customers and other third parties may use cookies or web beacons (pixels) in order to send targeted ads to Consumers, engage with Consumers, or otherwise locate Consumers. For more information about cookies and web beacons (pixels), please review the relevant parts of Section 5.
In addition:
The Smart Projects may disclose Device Data if it believes that such action is necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulatory investigations, or to respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, warrant, or law enforcement request.
The Smart Projects may also disclose Device Data if it believes it will help to protect The Smart Projects, its Customers, or any other person or third party, or to enforce any legal rights.
In the event that The Smart Projects is acquired by or merged with a third-party entity or is potentially going to be acquired by or merged with a third-party entity, in any partial or total sale of assets including in the event of bankruptcy, or in any other corporate change, The Smart Projects may transfer or assign the Device Data as part of that actual or potential merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.

4. CONSUMER CHOICES AND HOW TO OPT OUT OF INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING
Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising Services by The Smart Projects
The Smart Projects adheres to the NAI Codes of Conduct as described on the NAI website. The Smart Projects also adheres to the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Self-Regulatory Principles. For a description of the DAA Program, please visit the DAA website. As described above, The Smart Projects may use or transfer Device Data that it directly collects or that it receives from The Smart Projects’ Customers, who may use cookies or non-cookie technologies, to enable advertising that is more tailored to Consumers’ inferred interests, preferences, and locations. This practice is known as interest-based advertising. The Smart Projects may also collect, use or transfer Device Data collected from one device for interest-based advertising on other devices that may be linked to the device where data was collected. This is known as cross-device linking.
The Smart Projects, and some of The Smart Projects’ Customers, provide the ability for Consumers to opt out of the collection and use of mobile app data across apps over time on a device, for interest-based advertising purposes, through the DAA’s AppChoices tool. To opt out of The Smart Projects’ collection, use, and transfer of such app usage data and of Device Geolocation Data, for interest-based advertising purposes, Consumers can download AppChoices onto the relevant mobile device and exercise choice through the app. When such choice is exercised on a device, The Smart Projects will also stop using and transferring Device Data from that device for interest-based advertising on other linked devices, and will stop using Device Data from other linked devices for interest-based advertising on the device from which choice was exercised. AppChoices is available at the links below:
DAA AppChoices iOS
DAA AppChoices Android
DAA AppChoices Amazon
Please note that Consumers who use more than one mobile device should renew their opt-out choices on each device. Consumers who opt out from use of their Device Data as part of The Smart Projects’ Services may continue to receive interest-based advertising from other companies.
This will opt you out of many –but not all- of the interest-based advertising activities in which The Smart Projects or its third party partners engage. Opting out via AppChoices will opt the User out of all The Smart Projects Targeting Segments that are created immediately and any subsequent Segment distributions. However, there will be a lag for the User’s ID to be removed from previously distributed Targeting Segments that are already active at the time when the opt-out is exercised.
If a User wants to end all targeting immediately, s/he can turn on “Limit Ad Tracking” in his/her device settings. To limit Ad Track on an Apple device, see instructions at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202074.
To limit Ad Tracking on an Android device, see instructions at: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922.
Please note, however, that opting-out will not block general advertisements that are sent at random, and not tied to the perceived interest of the User of a particular device.
Consumers who have downloaded The Smart Projects’ applications, but who no longer wish to provide information to The Smart Projects for interest-based advertising purposes, should opt out through AppChoices as described above.
Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising by Third Parties on the The Smart Projects Site
The Smart Projects may permit third parties to collect information on its Site and combine that information with other information collected on non-affiliated websites or applications over time. These third parties may use technologies, including cookies and web beacons, to collect information about Consumers’ or Customers’ use of the Site in order to analyze, report on, or customize content or advertising on the The Smart Projects Site or on other sites, or to help us operate and improve the Site. To find out more about interest-based advertising in the web environment, and how to opt-out of information collection for this purpose by companies that participate in the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance, visit NAI’s opt-out page or DAA’s Consumer Choice Page. EEA and Swiss residents, please refer to www.youronlinechoices.com.

Because it doesn't delete files, but only unused folders. Trust me that this application never deletes some useful file or folder.

Source : Xbox Live Terms of Usage
I'm getting a popup that I should accept the new end users agreement when trying to install a new app or check my Xbox Achievements, I have however a few questions about this paragraph above (I have honestly never seen this before) :
- Is it safe to accept if I have interop-unlocked my Samsung Ativ S, installed the BootStrapper.xap and EnableAllSideLoading.xap, WP8Tools and WP Tweaks from -W_O_L_F- and GoodDayToDie and jessenic.
- I'd used proxies provided by reker and others on XDA-Developers to access some manufacturing exclusive apps (like Nokia apps)
- Should I be worried if I accept that they can block and/or delete my Xbox account, I have saved a fair amount of temporally free store apps and I don't want to lose them.
If so, should I be better off to switch back to Android because they "allow" (turning a blind eye to) rooting your phone or tablet?
Please help me guys, I'm starting to freak out (I haven't accepted the new version of the EULA yet).
Terms like that have traditionally been part of the XBL EULA, but in the past they've always related to cheating or piracy on the console itself. People certainly have gotten their accounts banned for that, which is part of why I have nothing to do with such things. As for whether it's "safe" to accept... eh. If they want to, they can easily argue that you broke the EULA (and forfeited your account) when you interop-unlocked your phone, but they haven't - so far as I know - ever tried to attack individuals or their devices. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't do anything so foolish, either. Both Google and Apple have disabled peoples' accounts in the past for EULA/TOS violations - Apple for iOS hacks, Google for incredibly stupid <REDACTED> like breaking the Real Name Policy on G+ - and so for that matter has Microsoft, for something almost as idiotic (if you want to take risqué photos with your phone, make damn sure auto-upload is off even if your SkyDrive profile is set to private; they've called it a TOS violation and suspended, though not quite completely disabled, peoples' accounts for that). Every single one I've heard of resulted in a flood of bad PR, and not in the "all PR is good PR" sort of way... more like calls for lawsuits, and accusing anybody who uses that platform of being an idiot.
If there's one thing Microsoft cannot afford to do with regard to Windows Phone right now, it's give people another reason *not* to buy it. We are probably safe.
Yes, but WP8 is gaining popularity so maybe they won't do it now but in the future they probably will. Was this clause also present at the time of the interop-unlocking of WP7? If so, you are probably right. But as a precaution is it possible to lock out Microsoft from checking if modifications are made to the system (like you did with the relock solution redirect the data to a different proxy)?

Are you sure of that? It means they watch the photos we take? I don't think so... maybe they used it as an image hosting and shared the link everywhere in the internet...
It's supposedly automated scanning that recognizes anything that looks like it needs to be flagged for human review...

Privacy Agreement Grants Board Access

I received my much anticipated OnePlus 6T yesterday. Unboxed it, tapped "Start" button. Scanned through both "Agreements," turned it off, boxed it up, got an RMA and shipped it back. I'm no attorney, I'm a broadcast engineer, but in my job I have to navigate the whole alphabet soup of government agencies red tape so I've learned some "legalese." I' returned the 6T because of the language in the "Agreements". When you tap "I agree" to both, then activate and use the device, your granting OnePlus access to anything on the device or networks on which it connects (condensed Reader's Digest version). Like everybody in the broadcast business I have "a lot of irons in the fire," I make notes about projects and ideas on my phone. There's no way I'm giving anyone permission to cherry pick my creativity or access to my company & networks proprietary information. I'm offering this as my personal observation on this forum and suggest anyone who is just receiving theirs new, read the legalese very carefully before you tap "I Agree."
Who the **** reads those? ?
Still why I don't buy any device that doesn't have Lineage support... However what are you going to replace it with? Going to go buy another flagship? Have you glanced through other's privacy policies? This stuff is pretty boiler plate at this point, it's CYA. Not that I'm defending it, because it shouldn't be like that, but in today's "sue happy world", and "everything needs to be connected", guess what? The solution would be just to remove this these services, there are tons of posts of which OnePlus services to remove if you want to stay on OOS and protect your privacy.
So back to the replacement, lets take a Samsung, those are popular....., have you glanced at their privacy policy, because it's similar link
I didn't go over entirely, and I'm sure there's more details, but I'm guessing OnePlus's blurb, looked something similar to this (From Samsung's Website):

Location information - such as your device’s GPS signal or information about nearby WiFi access points and cell towers that may be transmitted to us when you use certain Services.
Voice information - such as recordings of your voice that we make (and may store on our servers) when you use voice commands to control a Service.

I'm not new to android or privacy by any means.
This kind of obscure language is no mistake or ctrl c/v standard.
All of these are poored over by lawyers on mass.
.
It is for this reason I exclusively run custom rims & mods and a majority of my devices are root/xposed with multiple layers of privacy in mind.
.
There used to be a much bigger crowd of developers and possibilities...
But we seem to be a dying breed.
.
I'm deeply saddened at the lack of true device level privacy or the concern for it.
And no
You'll not catch me trusting Google or an oem.
I barely trust open source.
.
Any links to further improve safety security and privacy on an Android device would be appreciated
If you think what the 6T collects is bad wait till you hear about Google.. Android is just a glorified data collection OS.. All they care about is profiling from us and learning everything to target ads and sell to 3rd parties after all Google is an Ad company.. If you want privacy compile AOSP and use MicroG avoid all Google services and use as much FOSS apps as possible.

Lineage also collects weird data like what device you installed on, Carrier etc.. Not sure why it needs this but I don't run it for that reason.

As soon as you install Lineage it asks if you want to share / participate in this program? You don't have to share this information. If you overlooked it the user can disable this sharing in the settings. They don't try and hide it at all.
I also don't know of any Lineage builds / trees that are hidden unlike other ROMs that are popular. So everything is out in the open.
Lineage has always been my first choice, so maybe I'm biased?

If you think custom roms (AOSP) are spying on you you're on the wrong website
Intrusive TOS suck big time, but, unfortunately, if you have a email address or cell phone, use the internet in any way shape or form, forget about any sense of privacy..
I make sure I dont do anything "iffy" on my cell phone; never use it for banking or bill paying, so I feel a little less paranoid, but there is really NO WAY, aside from not having an email address/cell phone/internet connection to keep your life from some prying eyes..

i trust open source, if there is a doubt with the code, anyone can check (not saying everyone does that).
Google service, oneplus, etc ... on the other hand are completely locked and you have no way to see what it really does.
Btw, i switched because of the much better battery and performance i get without these spyware constantly running, not much about privacy... Still use google.com everyday so they aren't missing anything :laugh:
The only one you have to agree to is the first one. The rest you can decline and still setup your phone. I agree with Micro G but, if go a step further and install NanoDroid. It comes with replacement Google apps and GPS and all sorts of things to disconnect you from Google but have a functioning phone.

False. Google does not sell user data to third parties, or to anyone. It's never even been considered. Unfortunately due to a mix of people not understanding how technology works and assuming that every "tech company" operates in exactly the same way this particular piece of fake news just won't die. There are plenty of terrible things they actually do nowadays, better to focus on those anyway

so much this
every manufacturer has some sort of logging / reading data.
root, and monitor everything that leaves your phone - block apk's that shouldnt be running - or create firewall rules in the iptables to block applications from accessing certain sites / internet.

This argument would make Kellyanne Conway proud. Yes, Google does not sell user data directly. But it does so indirectly every day it is in business. By allowing advertisers to target ever smaller slices of the population and track them across websites they ARE providing advertisers with user data.

A truly moronic reply that shows you have no idea what you are talking about. Have your even seen the advertising interface to Google's ad products? Obviously not because you just described Facebook's, not Google's! ?????

Victimized23322

All,
I need help immediately..I'm not a developer or tech savvy type beyond corp correspondence and general reporting for project management. I've been hacked in the worst way by criminals I caught doing some very nasty things in my name and on my property. They used Bluetooth and Wifi/Wifi Direct to pair with everything but the toaster in my house. They are using OMADM protocol to send APKs and other apps directly into my devices with what appears to be permanent USB tethering embedded that I cannot breaK and every new device get the same data dump from some cloud or text or email and renders my devices slaves. They've used everything from remote desktop services to ALL legitimate apps DL from playstore Github and other places. These are not detected by malware spyware or antivirus. They install them in the system side via OTA root. It's taken me 9 months to learn this reading bits and pieces like reading 10 books at a time two pages from each book every tem minutes then trying to understand it and apply. Law enforcement is useless. Can YOU help me??! It's cost me my house my patience and nearly my life. If you can and are willing let me know how to contact you on secure platform. I even need your help to do this securely and safely. I'll PAY. I need help. Please. These are Linux and Java code writers and app writers. They KNOW how to attack. Who out there will help? I can provide phone number, email add etc and will contact you in anyway you prefer.

Hi Victimized23322
XDA is not the right platform for such request and I'm compelled to warn our members that your request may be malicious in itself. Playing the victim is a very common practice used by phishers and con artists.
Therefore I recommend all members not to engage with @Victimized23322 about his/her problem. Any damages and/or losses resulting from engaging are entirely your own responsibility.
Thank you for understanding my concern, we have to take this into account. If what you explained is true, you need a specialized security firm that deals with these type of attacks.

Looking for help in application development

Hi all, I'm interested in FOSS-related stuff and I believe this to be the proper forum (Stackexchange is a bit of a headache to use). I was looking for making an impenetrable network modeled after Tor that uses bogon addresses for websites instead of .onion or .i2p, and it also encrypts all your traffic over a cryptographic hash. I intend it to be for iOS as a developer IPA. You might have to back-up and store your key on a SD card and the only way you can unencrypt it is to have access to that SD. And it also spoofs your IP so ISPs cannot see your traffic. It works similar to a DDOS in that it uses BGP and martian addresses. Once downloaded via Torrent, you will be taken to a Firefox page of an adminlogin.php page, where you enter your credentials into. I'll call this an "open circuit". After you have set your username and password, you will be taken to a "closed circuit" which is basically what I'll call "Ghost Web". I'm assuming your traffic would be kinda slow, but as for how much, I have no clue. Does anybody have knowledge in this realm? And even if I got a few things wrong, anything close enough that'll make my custom idea for a perfect network work? I know Media Land LLC hosts these websites. Although I heard they're illegal. Is that true, because I don't have too much knowledge in the terms of IPs and all that ish.
Reason I ask is because nowadays privacy and free speech is getting destroyed by Big Tech monopolies. There are social media applications out there, some of which I might add are rather decent, like Rocket.Chat, Viber and Threema, but Tor and other forms of network technology always fall victim to the same problems they tried to address, and in many cases got abandoned (like CJDNS). Lokinet uses the Oxen blockchain, which, while it does make Sybil MITM attacks more expensive, however not impossible. I want censorship and privacy to be inevitable 100% with this app.
