Hi,

seems you have included org.acra tracker at some point, thus the PP should be amended accordingly. At present it says: 

Crash reports
The developer is unable to get crash reports automatically when the app crashes. ...

I think acra allows for such automatic sending (where? which server?) albeit upon user's choice/confirmation?

thanx

Hi,

ACRA is configured to send crash reports with e-mail manually, with and only with the interaction of the user. This means a dialog gets displayed that gives the user a choice to "cancel" or to open the standard e-mail program to edit and then send an mail with a stack trace attached. The stack trace is a text file that can be displayed with any text-editor. See here on how ACRA is configured: https://github.com/bailuk/AAT/blob/master/app/src/main/java/ch/bailu/aat/App.java

For me ACRA is very useful: so far it helped me to fix many bugs efficiently.

Also ACRA https://www.acra.ch/ is open source and on GitHub https://github.com/ACRA/acra.

Hi,

yep, perfect - you may want to just copy-n-paste your answer mostly as-is into the Crash reports paragraph in https://github.com/bailuk/AAT/blob/master/Privacy%20policy.md and you're done :) Till you change things, that is. Point is that checking app with e.g. classyshark3xodus it shows 1 tracker since some version update whereas there were none before. One may wonder what's it for, so better mention it upfront in the PP doc.

thanx
