Can apps send your data if it hasnt got network permissions?
After a while you just say "dang it, will not allow this anymore" and take the high road. If you are using one device for all purposes but need those paid and proprietary apps installed, consider running them within a different profile. There is a good floss app for that called [Shelter](https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter) because on vanilla android this feature might not be possible for your phone (on Pixel phones for example android offers to use Google Work Profile but you need a special account for that). Shelter can create a work profile on your phone, you can install programs within your different profile. This might help a bit :)

For Android you don't even need to change your OS. You can install Shelter and use it to isolate the app.

If you are on an android phone what supports shelter[1], I can recommend installing "social" apps inside the shelter, and just sleep the apps when you don't use them.
In regards to windows, it feels to me as morphing into a solution for large corporations if disregarding the tabloid news while leaving private users just waiting for a friendly OS to be presented for them.
