Actually if I am not mistaken, it is against the app store TOS to submit a UDID to a third party without the user's consent. Apps that use Flurry's agent in particular took heat from Apple for this. This is basically spyware.

Really, there is no reason to track activity by UDID for booking a flight.
I am not trying to troll here - I actually love your website. But I really hate spyware!
For your other uses, most reputable apps ask the user if they would like to participate in a customer feedback program, and inform them what will be collected, and allow them to opt out.
- danilocampos 16y agoWe're not using AppCircle, so there should be no UDID shenanigans. I've asked Flurry to confirm this.
- Xuzz 16y agoI believe PrivaCy supports Flurry, if nothing else works: http://cydia.saurik.com/package/com.saurik.privacy http://cydia.saurik.com/package/com.saurik.privacy
