That moment when you're just trying to download a simple PDF reader app, and suddenly you're being interrogated about your entire family tree. Nothing says "I just want to open a document" like having to declare how many 6-year-old boys you have in your possession. The real question is why any PDF viewer needs this information. What's next? Blood type and favorite breakfast cereal? Your childhood pet's zodiac sign? Pro tip: whenever an app asks for weirdly specific personal info, just remember - somewhere a data scientist is getting paid to figure out the correlation between having a 9-year-old girl and your likelihood to click on ads for Minecraft toys.
