More specifically in relation to Crash Reporting, Analytics and Unity Ads.
If I use those 3 things in my app, what would be the yes/no answers to the following questions:-
Does your app collect or share any of the required user data types? Is all of the user data collected by your app encrypted in transit? Do you provide a way for users to request that their data is deleted?
I already know the answer to question 3 is no, as I havenât put anything in my app that does it, but is there anything in place at the Unity end that would facilitate the deletion of individual users data stored by the above 3 services (if any).
edit:
In my case I can see that my app collects:
Purchase history, Approximate location, Diagnostics, Other performance data, Device or other identifiers.
In all cases Goggle asks the follow up question:
âIs this data collected, shared, or both?
Select all that apply. Some types of data collection and sharing are exempt.
Collected
This data is transmitted off the userâs device, either to you (the developer) or a third party. This includes data that is processed ephemerally, or stored for longer.
Shared
This data is transferred to a third party, either on or off the userâs deviceâ
From the Apple Nutritional pages I can see that data is collected, but I canât see if it is shared with a third party (or myself for that matter) ?
Thank you, so data is encrypted while in transit, and data that is collected will in some (all?) cases also be shared.
Edit: wow⌠Google wants much more information than Apple asks for. If I state that Purchase history is both collected and shared, they also want to know:
Is this data processed ephemerally?
Is this data required for your app, or can users choose whether itâs collected?
Why is this user data collected?
Why is this user data shared?
Some of this I can probably figure out by reading some of the previous links, but I think it would be extremely useful to a lot of developers if Unity made it as easy to answer these questions, as you did with the questions Apple wanted to know.
I agree, Iâm still struggling to decide how to answer some of the questions.
Particularly the one Is there a way for users to delete their stored data. I can see how they are given the option to opt out when first shown a Unity ad, but what happens if they initially accept and then later decide to opt out. Is any already stored data deleted automatically at that point?
My apologies, I was of the understanding that the Data Privacy Button couldnât be used if Unity Ads was installed. Iâll look into how to implement it.
Do we need to add âSharedâ to data collection types such as âApproximate Locationâ, âDiagnosticsâ or âDevice or other identifiersâ?
According to Unityâs Privacy Policy I would say yes, as it says âUnity has collected some or all of the following information about your deviceâ, but I am not sure if it is shared with Unity or just âsent byâ Unity (so just collected for the appâs developers?). We develop apps for kids and I wanted to make sure before submitting the info, as each data types we add or say âsharedâ could have a critical impact on our downloads.
Hello,
I am almost finished with completing my Data Safety Form on Google Play but still have one doubt.
We are using Unity Analitycs and Diagnostics in our games.
Therefore, data we collect is:
Approximate location, Personal identifiers, Device or other identifiers, Purchase history. Page views and taps in app, Crash logs, Diagnostics, Other app performance data.
Thats what I got from Unity âApple nutritionl labels for Unity Analytics and Crash Diagnosticsâ. All of the data is Collected and Shared, isnât processed ephemerally and is used for the purpose of Analytics.
However, in Unity Privacy Policy (Privacy Policy Hub), there is a part âInformation that you or others actively provideâ and there are data types like Name, Age or date of birth, Gender, Username, Profile photo etc.
Should we somehow include data mentioned in this part of privacy policy in a Data Safety Form? If yes, are they collected and shared as other data is?
Also please correct me if Iâm wrong on the data I understood is collected and shared by Analytics and Diagnostics.
I will help as much as I can. Itâs my understanding we are working on this documentation. The store policies are a moving target, and itâs hard to keep up. In the meantime, be sure to read this entire forum thread.
