I found the app on my Samsung phone but I also found something interesting.

Go to Settings->Apps and find the app in the list. Click "Configure in AppCloud" and then click "Personal Data". A form shows up where you can request access to the data or request a deletion of the data.

I just requested access to my data, received an email confirmation where I had to click a link. I am curious to see what they will send me (if they will send me anything).

There was mention of GDPR so maybe this is only exists in EU phones.

I just received the data inside and email, which is just an empty HTML file. Obviously it is all just bullshit to pretend to comply with GDPR.

But we have GDPR here in UK too.

Who is the email sender?
