Interesting-- I don't recall agreeing to submit usage statistics to either app developers or third parties--- was that in the app store EULA?

- jfarmer 18y agoYou didn't. This is data from people who use Pinch Analytics.
- joshwa 18y agoYes, developers put this in their apps, which I've downloaded, and collect and share this data without my consent.
- boucher 18y agoThe law does not require disclosure of the collection of non personally identifying information. If it did, server logs would be illegal. Pinch analytics performs exactly the same function as Google analytics, and you don't agree to that on any of the websites you visit either.
- joshwa 18y agoTrue. I suppose I am conditioned to expect, on downloaded apps, a little dialog box asking if I'm OK with sharing anonymous usage information. I think the standard is slightly different with desktop apps (with the spectre of 'spyware' to be avoided)
- Zev 18y agoIts in the EULA to allow Apple or third parties to generate usage statistics, yes.
