DTEK by Blackberry app can track/notify on foreground and background permissions usage (but there's no data from before you install it). To log how requested data is actually being used by an app doesn't sound possible to me.

Probably not, but the method of "fetch" should be possible - either it lists resources, grabs variables, grabs whole images etc.

Ah I see, yes it would be great if Android made that info available.
