Not to excuse this app, but unless any app is from a trusted source I think it's safe to assume all your data is being sold off.

In a functional US, the official app from the head of the executive branch would be trustworthy.

But that's in a functional US.

Nah, I wouldn't download an app from the Biden Admin either, nor Obama admin.

Hell, Obama was the one that extended the "Patriot" Act...
