> These references suggest deep integration with ByteDance's analytics and performance monitoring infrastructure I mean when I visit a random website or open a random app, I kind of expect that it will use something like Google Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics so that my "user data" is shared with Google.

I understand that analytics and performance monitoring are often outsourced to a third party, often without a choice of turning off the analytics and performance monitoring features in the first place. I use the DeepSeek app happily without giving it any data I consider private. I have a separate local DeepSeek distilled model for that.
