Admits it was snooping on users but promises to stop collecting phone and MAC numbers.

Security researcher Christopher Moore had published a report sharing that the company was collecting IMEI numbers, phone numbers, MAC addresses, IMSI prefixes, serial numbers, mobile network name(s), when a user launched/closed an app, screen on/off time, and the time when user locked or unlocked their phones, among other similarly intrusive data.
