But the data is with the government already, and as per their terms of service can be stored forever, and for any purpose they wish (as long as its a "legal requirement").
"“The personal information collected will not be used for any purpose other than those mentioned in this Clause 2 save as required in order to comply with a legal requirement.”
"All personal information collected from you under Clause 1(a) provided at the time of
registration will be retained for as long as your account remains in existence and for such
period thereafter as required for the purposes for which the information may lawfully be
used or is otherwise required under any other law for the time being in force"

The government has already changed the privacy policy without notification, and for sure they can change it again and nobody - especially not a compliant judiciary - will stop them.

- kumarvvr 6y agoApart from historical location data, the govt already has much info about citizens. This app will not add anything new.
