When you do that, it's quite hard for it not to sound creepy. And most people would probably say no.
But I don't think it should be prohibited by regulation. Some people might want it, or genuinely find it useful.

None of this shit is legal, but the laws are toothless anyway: Apple can get "fined" a couple million and that's it. The fallout from the press would be a harder hit for them.
You might want to prune some of the descriptions though, as a lot of them are very Claude and hard to follow.
Why did you abbreviate 'visualise'? You're not running up against a character limit.
"We" sounds pretty damn generous if you don't even know whether it works.
