Why does INDMoney force me to use its app?

When trying to open a new account in INDMoney for investing in US stocks, it is asking me to complete the verification / setup process through its app. Is that the only way? I can’t do it through website?

Yea most of these LRS-path international brokers need you to use their app. Stockal, Vested, IND, etc. - I guess they want the engagement.

More like data. Even without any permissions a lot of data can be collected. With permissions consider all your data stolen, especially since we don’t have any real data protection enforced by law.

But international brokers like IB, schwab don’t force app.
