What's Fairphone Activation Logger

[Jqri]

I recently stumbled across a system app on my fp4 called “Fairphone Activation Logger”
Does anyone know what this app does?

I just tried to find that app. I did not find an app “Fairphone Activation Logger” under all apps on my FP4.

Hi everyone, We completely understand your concerns shared in this thread. Thanks, as always for your feedback. Using the data collected, our goal is to resolve a number of business challenges we face with regards to the production planning of spare parts and software maintenance. This information allows us to measure whether Fairphone devices are actually used longer, as a proof point for our company’s mission, and it allows us to better plan production, so that we can order the spare parts …

An especially interesting bit …

Our software developers are currently fixing this to include a toggle for opt-out in the settings.

Is there a toggle in the Settings?

This is per description to submit data to Google. Reading the privacy policy I doubt there is any opt-out for this. They say those data are considered legitimate interest.
