Trackers #127

Closed HomemadeAdvanced closed 5 months ago

HomemadeAdvanced commented 5 months ago

According to ExodusPrivacy there are the Trackers Google CrashLytics and Google Firebase Analytics included in the app. I have not found an option in the settings of the app to disable these trackers. Are they disabled by default or only for debug purposes? Thanks in advance.

In PPP is not used Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics. Crashlytics is not used since version 4.3. And Firebase Analytics never been used.

PPP was removed form Google Play when 4.3 was released. And from this version was removed also: Google Play Services, Google Maps, Craslytics. Was replaced with osmdroid, ACRA.

Upgrade to latest version (6.4.1.1).

Allright thanks, good to know. Is there an option to disable ACRA?

henrichg commented 5 months ago

No, why you need it? ACRA is only for send e-mail, when PPP crashes. Generated is notification and when user click it, opened is e-mail app a user can send crash report to me. Crash report attachment is txt file.

Okay, so I am glad to hear that there is no automatic communication that can cause a privacy issue. I'm concerned about that because the app has a lot of privileges.

henrichg commented 5 months ago

In PPP is not any communication with other servers. With one exception:

Yes more, more permissions. But similar to Tasker, Macrodroid, Automate,... PPP is automate application. It must using these permissions.
