   Hi Frank,   
      
   You are misrepresenting what I actually do with contacts.   
      
   My setup is simple. The system contacts database on my phone is empty   
   and I use a separate, sandboxed contacts app which stores its data in   
   its own database. That means the many packages with read permission   
   on the system contacts provider have nothing at all to read.   
      
   I do not store my contacts in any public cloud service. If you have a   
   specific quote where I said otherwise, please feel free to point to it.   
      
   If you see a technical inconsistency in that model, describe it in   
   concrete terms and we can talk about it. Personal remarks about my   
   respect for privacy do not change how the data flows actually work.
