Which info Flatpak apps can get from me if they don't require permission?

Hi,

I use the latest stable version of Fedora.

Which “Critical or private information” can an app get from my OS:

  • if I will install it via Flatpak.
  • if the app does not use any permission (which I can see them from Flatseal).
  • if I will not run the Flatpak app via sudo.

For me “Critical or private information” means:

  • machine-id
  • any hardware device serial number like HDD serial number
  • network MAC address
  • OS username
  • which apps I have installed or running
  • any other finger-printable info…

Additional topic: It would be great if you also have comments for distrobox or toolbox.


Thank you
