My grocery store wants to know my BMI
If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?
Inb4 “They already do that based on what you regularly purchase”
Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?
The background does not look like a browser.
Yeah I’m fairly certain it’s the app. If it were Safari it would either say Safari is trying to… or it would say the website so there would be a domain named. I think it’s fairly conclusive this is the store’s app.
In fairness it’s cropped so you can’t see the whole screen anyway
The barcode scanner and search bar are not provided by Apple?
Nope that would be in the app or browser. It looks similar to my local grocery app/loyalty website
