How to answer the App Store's App Privacy Data Collection questions?

Unity Services
1

Apple’s App Store is asking what kind of data I intend to collect from my users and how, but since Unity Analytics does all the work behind the scenes, I don’t know how to answer. I’ve found some of the answers in Unity’s Privacy Policy page but I really need Unity’s team to help me out with the following:

  1. Does Unity Analytics link the data it collects to the user’s identity as described in the following screenshot?
  2. Does Unity Analytics collect Performance Data (such as: launch time, hang rate or energy use)? Should I also check “Other Diagnostics Data”?

    Any other information that can help Unity developers give all the right answers to Apple can really help.

This may help Apple privacy survey for Unity Ads

Yes, it help - thanks! But only regarding data collected by Unity Ads. I also need data regarding Analytics and Cloud Diagnostics.

It did, thanks!

Thanks! Good job, Unity team! Just one last thing: does Unity Cloud Diagnostics collect any kind of data that Analytics doesn’t? Because I don’t see any information about it in that link.

9

I don’t believe we have that documented yet. Are you using Cloud Diagnostics? If not, then you should be OK.

10

Yes, I use Cloud Diagnostics in order to get crash reports from users. I hope you can write a document about it too.

11

In the meantime, I would suggest that you submit with and without the service enabled.

What should the answer be for the third question below? I’m not sure if it is referring to Unity or the developer.

It looks like they are referring to the developer. If you are using Cloud Diagnostics/Performance reporting, then possibly yes. To confirm, use Charles Proxy to see if your app is sending any data. https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002917683-Using-Charles-Proxy-with-Unity

Thank you! So I assume Unity doesn’t use data for any tracking purposes either?

15

Not unless you explicitly send it to us.

I understand you’re not a part of Unity diagnostics but I turn to this thread seeing there is still no information on this, diagnostics is rumoured to be discontinued and its forum appears devoid of support. We published now without user tracking enabled (Crash Data, Performance Data & Other Diagnostic Data) for Unity Diagnostics based on this conversation could you confirm this is correct?

So to be crystal clear all diagnostics fields only contain.

  • Used for Analytics, and App Functionality
  • Linked to the user’s identity

If you’ve disabled the services, no data should be sent. To confirm exactly what is being sent, use Charles Proxy.

Is there a separate version of Apple privacy survey for Unity Ads for apps with “directed to children under 13” (“Child Apps”) checked as per https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityAnalyticsCOPPA.html?

Or do the same answers apply in that case as well?

thanks Jeff, I added the stuff mentioned there but after that I get a second and third layer of questions regarding how those are being used - any advice on how to answer them?
BTW I use UnityAds, unity IAP, chartboost, applovin for most apps
thanks in advance!
