No, they don't. You give them data by using their service. They then earn money with that data.

Maybe because you misread the memo and went through Methamorphosis instead?

One of my Baldur's Gate parties once came dangerously close to breaking up because of this exact pun lmao

Only upper class ghosts can afford to haunt a mansion like that.

This might even boost sales

You sure you didn't misread? To me it looks like they allow sideloading Email apps but disallow sideloading web browsers.

From their FAQ:

Can I install my own apps?

Web browsers and social media apps are blocked at the system level. Email and work apps are not offered through the Commostore app store, keeping Callback focused on life outside work and feeds.

Users are still be able to sideload apps outside those that are blocked, using APK installer files, but Callback is designed first and foremost as a calmer, more intentional phone.

So I can receive an Email but if it has a link to a website I can't click it? That's just silly, Commodore. You're doing a fine job being memeable and appealing to our nostalgia. Trying to "protect us from ourselves" like that kinda destroys that vibe. And no, the inevitable custom ROM circumventing your blocks won't make up for it.
