Question: all these permitions are allowed by default? Or the app asks for it and you can allow them or not from Android/iOS permissions, like notifications?

You can block some things (like location data), but a lot of it is only moderated using an "Ask app not to track" button, which is more lenient.

I didn't know there was a button like that! Where can I find it on Android?

I was talking about iOS, the image in the post is compiled from AppStore screenshots. Here’s a relevant page on Apple's website.

As for Android, I’m not really sure. Probably by installing DuckDuckGo? It runs a local firewall-type thing that blocks known trackers.
