This data is anonymized and aggregated where possible and is used only for debugging, performance analysis, and improving user experience.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection laws, including:
  • The right to request access to the data collected about your device
  • The right to request deletion of analytics or crash data
You can contact us to exercise these rights.
