The best part is I do not have to worry about a third party vendor getting access to my smartphone’s data.
For better or worse, the smartphone is a vault of almost everything about a person, including the ability to impersonate them.
Obviously, Apple and Google already have access to all of this, but I see no reason to let yet another entity have it.
