That's pretty alarming that Legenbeary Games collects location and personal info. I would avoid such a developer.
Damn, I was gonna write a whole thing about that and say FOSS etc. games are especially appreciated. Sorry!
I use a couple of things to stop stuff like that, haven't found anything that works perfectly for everything but the most used ones I've had (to my knowledge) success with:
Adguard to block any Internet connection to an app. (Adguard website link)
Warden (gitlab link, latest release was 3 years ago but it still works for some apps)
Permission Manager X (f-droid link)
I'll update the post tomorrow with the part I meant to add! Just took my sleeping pills so it's goodbye working brain till then.
Again, sorry! I had this in mind from the start, just got so focused on getting links and formatting... No excuse, my bad.
It's fine. I use NetGuard myself. The bigger issue is with apps that require a connection to run.
