Dear Affinity, any thoughts why your Publisher app starts attempting to contact every page on my reading list/bookmarks/browser history including my health insurance provider on launch?

(You cunts.)

(Did I mention I fucking hate capitalism?)

PS. This is an app downloaded from the Mac App Store and it’s got a lovely, comforting, blue, Apple-approved checkmark to let you know that data is not collected. So it’s safe. *phew!*

Screenshot of the Little Snitch network monitor showing a list of sites Affinity Publisher attempted to contact on launch. The ones for their company related sites (starting with serif) were allowed. Others, to sites that were on either on my bookmarks or history, including vhi.ie, a health insurance company, were denied (by yours truly).
Screenshot of the Affinity Publisher 2 page on the Apple App Store. Under App Privacy, it says “Data Not Collected”
