    So what you are saying is that you gave Amazon access to your device for 20$? Doesn’t sound like a good deal to me.

        Quick guess from me would be permission to use the camera(s) and if they have some kind of file picker or gallery, permission to access all media files from your phone (and older versions of Android did not have this "media"distinction, so they would give access to all user files (excluding sandboxed paths)

          You have to manually approve of giving each permission on Android, and camera and files/images are separate permissions (so giving access to the camera doesn’t require giving access to your files). And you can make it so they only have access to it while you use the app. If you take a random picture and then uninstall, they get nothing except that random picture.

      apps are sandboxed. if all they did was upload one pic, what access did amazon really get? I’d do that for $20.
