Can we have some clarification on what "Usage Data" the app collects and shares with advertisers? - eviltoast

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?

    You most likely can use the account, unless the author is intentionally doing something shady, Google doesn’t know your username from this interaction.

      Google doesn’t know the username of someone logged in? I thought that might be the first piece of data that Google picks up.

          That makes sense. And if app devs aren’t really enthusiastic about having ads trackers, I suppose they’ll also want to do the bare minimum for them.
