I have found this app. Kind an "intelligent agent" (marketing speech) that poisons the data collectors databases with noise. They're going to have a hard time to find out which of the online actions were eeally from me or my new nice "agent" creating noise.

You can mitigate it by having it doing the fake requests on wifi only, set time limits or reduce the intensity.
And I also am acustomed to chatge my phone during the day in the office.
