Mixpanel Telemetry #498

Closed actualaardvark closed 1 year ago

actualaardvark commented 1 year ago

Does this app send telemetry to the analytics company Mixpanel? I noticed that Portmaster (a network monitoring tool) detected the app attempting to send data to https://api.mixpanel.com. The attached image shows the Mixpanel requests in the bottom left. safingspyglassmixpanelscreenshot

Yes we use it to get a sense of what versions are out in the world and basic data on usage. We'll also send error reports to Sentry.

This can all be disabled by adding disable_telemetry: true to the settings file!

Good to hear that it isn't anything malicious. However, I would add an opt-in/out toggle on app install rather than storing it away in settings.
