Rule of thumb on the Internet, if you can't see how it's payed for (subscriptions, ads, donations...) then you probably pay with your personal data.

Especially true for apps and games. "Play totally free, no annoying adds or in-app purchases" means "Here is a trojan horse pretending to be a game while farming every possible information from your device to sell to the highest bidder".

As I understand it Apple is fairly good privacy-wise (at least compared to others). I wouldn't 100% trust those cards, but I'm guessing they're pretty accurate.
