Just Baffled... ***

I'm at a loss for words... So Standard Bank takes it upon themselves to shove trust caller down app users' throats and doesn't even bother with consent, as per the Consumer Protection Act. Against POPIA, Standard bank seems to think they have the right to consumers' personal phone metadata.

So, rightfully, as a consumer, I get rid of the darned thing only to be told that access to my account got blocked because "uninstalling the app triggers a ***** alert"....

Someone please make it make sense?

How about giving users the option to choose whether they want their personal phone information exposed to you or not?

You had an incident less than a year ago and now you want access to more personal information by increasing user exposure? What business do you have wanting permission to access people's phones when they're just using the app?

Have you lost your faculties or are you just not clued up on POPIA rights to data minimisation?
