@dom @Shareshot telemetrydeck. Its not linked to the person, it is anonymous but it does identify unique devices.

@oelsner @Shareshot thanks Luca I’ll take a look!

@johnbrayton see

@johnbrayton yeah you’d think but I’m clearly reading Apple’s text about this wrong. The optional disclosure stuff says ALL of the criteria must be met and analytics do not meet the “infrequent and optional” clause.

We had a lovely potential user get in touch today to ask why we capture “so much” user data according to the App Store privacy panel for @Shareshot which is surprising. I can see why but we only use anon crash reporting and analytics and answer Apple’s questions honestly. Have we answered wrong?

I see some similar apps don’t have as many or any privacy declarations so they are not using any crash reporting or analytics or maybe they have not completed the forms correctly?

It seems unfair the system can “punish” developers who complete these honestly. None of it seems to be audited at all?

Interested to hear from other devs!
