In normal Android, I don’t think internet access counts as a permission, nor does basic data collection.

Congratulations? If you use anything beyond stock apps it means you downloaded it, and accepted the privacy policy for it. Even with automatic updates, you logged in and accepted the policy as well. You don’t want it? Erase the app. Freeze it, don’t use it, whatever.
What’s worse is that you don’t even show the permission menu, you just show a notification.
Do what you want, but take at least responsibility for what you accept

That the stock app from my phone. Since a year the manufacturer started to update stock apps and they started to ask more and more permissions. It reached levels so bad that I am looking at the fairphones but I don’t have the money yet. Maybe in a few months or a year.
