good catch! even though data seems to be uploaded only if the user consents, it seems good to have that disabled as general precaution and stance

Where exactly does the user consent I wonder, don't remember being asked about it on Android.

i think, it is this one (seen on android7, motog at "System Settings / Google"):

pretty sure, they ask before, showing a 150 pages document where this is somewhere written.

next time, if someone complains for too-high-battery-usage, we will be blamed for having that disabled :)
