Can we have some clarification on what "Usage Data" the app collects and shares with advertisers?
(lemmy.world)
What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?
Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?
That's true, but according to the Dev Google is cracking down on devs having two versions of an app (i.e. a basic ad-supported version and a pro ad-free version) and I believe if you want an app on the Google store it has to have to ad code in it. That last part I'm not sure if that only applies to apps that will have ads in them.
But, the dev doesn't comply with gdpr. It's opt-out by default what is not the case.
So to access the payment, you have to share private and personal datas. This isn't fine at all. He should offer the option to buy without being tracked.
That's a good point.
