I just got my first phone with /e/OS and I am new to this community. Hello!
I did not find an answer to my question in older posts, so Iām asking here. Sorry if missed something, provide a link if this is the case.
My question is the following: What are the implications of using my Google Account in the App Lounge? Will my phone be known/registered to Google furtheron? Which data are transferred to Google? What happens if i then logout and use the anonymous mode again?
(Background is, I want to install an App I bought in the play store in the past, i.e. Threema. Now Iām trying to decide wether to reuse the License from the play store or to buy a new one. But it would be nice to know for future decisions, as well.)
Many times when you have purchased an app before, you can try to contact the developer directly. More than often I received a code to redeem and activate the full version without Google Paystore.
As far as I understand the third Link, several data about my device is send to Google when using App Lounge. If I use my personal account, Google can link it to the data.
One thing I do not understand: Is it possible to Login with my personal account once, install apps, logout again, and use App Lounge in anonymous mode?
I suppose, in this case, Google would still fingerprint my device and recognize me even in anonymous mode. Anyone know about this?
