Hi,

it's not only China that is a PITA. In my experiences security and
privacy issues are less related to a country, they are more related to a
business area.

   The developer does not collect any data from this app." -

   Purchases
   Financial Info
   Location
   Contact Info
   Contacts
   User Content
   Identifiers
   Usage Data

   The following may be ripped out and sold:
  
   Your soul" -

Menlo Park, California isn't China.

Btw. some software for iPads is open source, too and sometimes LGPLed
software is used.
