So this seems like a pretty intense level of tracking. Certainly much more than any of the other lemmy apps I have tried. I get advertisements, totally fine with them earning money, but it took me by surpise.

If I look at the privacy policy, it certainly does not indicate to me this level of monitoring.

For the record, I am not implying deception on the devs part at all, I am sure things are spelled our correctly in the privacy policy. Just wasn’t sure everone was aware of the extent.

Cheers!

Edit: some people are implying I was trying to mislead with my title. For clarity I am using duckduckgo track blocker “App Tracking Protection” and it states “Tracking Attempts” https://ibb.co/DzWMFMy

The list on the original post is what data is being attempted to pull and the protection stopped as far as i can tell.

    You do know you can edit titles, right?

    You can change it to reflect the reality of what’s going on. You can edit the body in the post further, to reflect what you’ve learned since posting.

      Nope I didn’t! But now I do. Thanks friend :)

      Updated title and added an edit to the top to state what I think was the salient info discussed.
