1/ In this request, the @narendramodi's #Android #application sends silently and without the user's consent, his IP address and a unique identifier of his phone.
This personal data is sent to the website api.narendramodi.in which is located in the US.
2/ As the application is available in Europe, it must comply with the European regulation called #GDPR. Since an IP address is considered as a personal data, the user must give his consent and must be able to opt out from this data collection.
3/ The @narendramodi's #Android #application does not meet these requirements and so is breaking this European regulation.
4/ Moreover, not asking the user consent is a clear violation of the Google Play developer distribution agreement play.google.com/about/develope…
5/ The unique phone identifier send by the @narendramodi's #Android #application is composed of multiple device specific information: board, brand, name of the instruction set, name of the industrial design, manufacturer, model, name of the product
6/ So if you install the @narendramodi's #Android #application on your phone, you are giving a lot of device information to @narendramodi without your consent
