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?

I don’t have an issue with a reasonable subscription, but hard pass on trackers, especially when you’re paying.

Not defending tracking or anything, but you do not get trackers if you pay. This tracker is just for ads, which you don't get if you pay.

The issue for me is having the code. If I pay, I want an app without the ads/trackers code.

The code isn't run, so who cares?

[-] moitoi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I care as having it or not is two different situations. It had a layer of protection without it.

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.
