Basic Information
Name: Exodus Privacy
Category: Android Privacy Add-Ons
Website: https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/
Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy
Description
εxodus analyzes Android applications in order to list the embedded trackers. A tracker is a piece of software meant to collect data about you or your usages. So, εxodus reports tell you what are the ingredients of the cake. εxodus does not decompile applications, its analysis technic is legal.
Platform to audit trackers used by Android application:
https://github.com/Exodus-Privacy/exodus
It's important to point out that the exodus service only reports on the Google Playstore versions of apps, while the exodus software (linked by Atavic) reports on any APK file you feed it. Privacytools should probably endorse both.
There is a pitfall: a user who queries Jami using the service will see that there is a tracker, and they will perhaps assume that the F-Droid version of Jami has the tracker (which is not the case). In that particular case, Jami should already take Signal's place in the endorsements, and we should tell users that the F-Droid version is tracker-free and the Playstore version is not.
If the exodus service is endorsed, it would be worth stressing that the report is useless for F-Droid apps.
How well maintained is the exodus database?
Exodus Privacy was recently on Gandi news and I understood that it's updated automagically.
I do now notice that they didn't comment on updates, but I imagine they exist.
