Unity acts like analytics is enabled, when it isn't.

Hey so I’ve seen a few threads on here covering this kinda thing in the past, but I just want a clear answer as I’ve heard conflicting information. In Unity 2019.4, with Unity Analytics disabled, and with a none development build, Charles Proxy is detecting info being sent to cdp.cloud.unity3d.com. And I can even see that this info appears to be info you’d expect to be sent IF I had analytics enabled (which I don’t). Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve seen this too. We actually had to hand-edit project settings to force this behavior to stop, but I don’t have the information handy to tell you right now. It was more than turning off analytics in the project settings windows.

Unity is extremely aggressive in terms of silently turning crap like this on. I hope they reverse this policy because there are seriously expensive legal consequences under the GDPR and CCPA privacy laws for your software making unauthorized connections to remote servers and sending any PII (Personally Identifiable Information) to those servers. :confused:

You are correct, there shouldn’t be any events being sent. Is this on an Android device? We are most certainly NOT silently turning on these services. If these events are indeed being sent, it would be a bug.
