Sounds like good reason to never install any app. 🙁 Everything is just a pretense to collect you data and sell it.
Not sure what could be a solution for this. Some app reviewing service, which would review the source code, and publish what information which app collects about you?
I mean, I am quite happily using StayFree despite them selling my data. As a user you probably can’t do much except try to use FOSS apps in situations where some use cases really do need a lot of permissions. I mean, they do pretty much tell you what information they collect, as long as you read the privacy policy that is. In an ideal world it should be more obvious.

If you give a fully informed consent, that’s okay for me.
