Not sure why you lay that on ATN. I'm surprised they can't get info already through Internet traffic monitoring.

This can happen with any app.
I would not be surprised if information has not been turned over for others.
Funny thing about getting older: Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to see through people's BS gets much better.

The would-be data seizure comes as part of an investigation by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement into illegal exports of ATN’s scope. The company isn’t under investigation, according to a court order filed by the Department of Justice (DOJ), but law enforcement officials have intercepted illegal shipments of the scope to Canada, the Netherlands and Hong Kong.
By obtaining telephone numbers, IP addresses, and use times of Obsidian 4 users, officials hope to track the networks that have been illegally exporting and receiving the scopes. Yes, government overreach. The users’ app data shouldn’t be used to track illegal shipments to foreign countries.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

Any data that leaves your own personal control should automatically be assumed to be in the possession of the government and probably anyone else that really wants it.
If you don't lock it down yourself and keep it off the internet, consider it public.
