tl;dr I have no interest in collecting your personal information, and will absolutely never sell your information to a third-party. I collect a small amount of anonymized usage information to help with the development of the app, but nothing that could personally identify you.
Here are the details:
I use a service called Firebase, made by Google, to collect crash reports, errors, and analytics. The basic information they collect can be found here, under the heading “Google Analytics for Firebase data collection”.
I do not link to the AdSupport framework, and so Firebase does not have access to the Advertising Identifier to identify your device. Instead, it uses the Vender Identifier, an identifier that cannot be correlated with the other apps on your device.
When the app crashes, I collect a small amount of information about the state of the app when it crashed, including things like app settings, to help determine what might have caused the crash. I collect the same information when an error occurs in the app (for example, when your data fails to update properly on upgrade).
I also collect anonymous usage information throughout the app to tell me how much various features are being used. For example, I collect how many times each deck is used, how many people have various settings enabled, etc. This is only used to determine what parts of the app are being used the most, so I can know where to focus my future development.
