I bought a Ricoh GR III.

Nice camera, shame about the app - it's pretty bad in and of itself (you need it for remote shutter), but it has a horrific data collection/sharing T&C.

Fortunately, in Android, you can block network access for an app.

If I couldn't do that, I'd need to root e/os/ to install firewall to prevent, or, not use the app - which would mean no remote shutter on the camera.

AFAIK, there is no way to discover the T&C until you have installed the app.

Not in stock Android. If you have that option it's an added extra.
