You say you don't want to know that, but your app requests those permissions. The only way to be sure you aren't collecting that information is to not install your app.
There are other apps that use Google Services that DON'T require those permissions, so I'm not sure what you mean by pointing the finger at them. Position is for targeted ads. "Pictures" I believe is a catch-all for SD-card access (which I believe has been fixed again, so you can request permission to save to the SD card without requesting picture access).

Sorry, we weren't being cleared enough. Other than the permissions required by Google Game Services, the position is used for showing an banner bar that fits your location. Privacy policy for the ads are available on the Google "Admob" site.
Regarding the other permissions that you are concerned, we are using a Cloud Compiler service by Ludei for putting our codes together and make it runnable. However, this cloud compiling service default enables features like storage / phone numbers / etc in the build APK (installer package for Android). This is done because this service does not know which features are used in the code.
That is why it is asking for all these permissions on your device. We do NOT access any of your personal data like phone numbers or pictures!
As of now, the cloud compilation service does not give us the options to select which permissions we are using. There is a way of removing all those requested permissions, but this involves decompiling and recompiling each update. We may spend time on this when we feel the app is finished, but we choose the quick solution and for now we rather spend our time improving Itty Fox game.
If you still don't "trust" our app, feel free to monitor the data of your phone that is being transferred :)
We will put a statement regarding these requested permissions on our Play Store page too. And if this reply clear up your concerns, please consider removing your one-star rating for our app. Thank you. (^._.^)ノ

Sorry I wasn't being clear enough.
It's not enough to say you're not collecting that data, because your app is still requesting permission for it. You go through a third-party compilation service, maybe THEY are scraping data. You didn't compile it yourself; there's no way to know without decompiling. So no, that level of permission request is not OK.
If you clean up your permissions in the future, please let me know.
