Google are trying to force me to open up all my data to them but will not give me a reason why the need it. I purchased the top of the range Google 6 Pro from the google store against an offer of a trade in on my old phone. Google are refusing to provide me the return label (to enable me to claim the trade in offer) unless I give them complete, including historic, access to my phone, all my accounts and all personal data they can collect. I have repeatedly asked them to advise why they need access to all my personal data before they will send me a return label. They ignore my question and simply insist I give them full unhindered and unaccountable access. What happened to contract law and data protection and how is this legal?
BTW the google 6 pro – good main camera, rubbish selfy camera, hopeless fingerprint reader and despite the large screen the pin number keyboard is so tiny I often punch in the wrong number – so not a camera or fone you can use in a hurry. If I play any games the phone becomes extremely hot. Battery is ok but certainly not good. I find it difficult to navigate and cant close screens/apps. Basically a good camera stuck on a large clunky old fashioned phone.
