App connects to Google Analytics #26

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, GA is used for tracking basic telemetry in a few places: mainly the total number of users, app performance, and core events (e.g. what percentage of Firefox interceptions succeed/fail). There's more details on external services the HTTP Toolkit talks to in https://httptoolkit.tech/privacy-policy/. That said:
Many valuable fixes have come from issues directly visible in analytics, and it's a strong force in deciding what features to build next. It's a debatable position and there are absolutely tradeoffs, but personally I would find it extremely difficult to develop and maintain software blind, with no reliable feedback for core metrics like these. That's the goal here: useful telemetry but retaining as much anonymity as possible throughout. I've just been through to check to ensure that the above is true everywhere (thanks for the nudge there). If you spot anywhere where it's not - e.g. anything that breaks because GA is blocked - then do let me know. |
Hello! Thank you for the amazingly detailed response which you do not owe anyone. I appreciate the care you put into it especially as it pertains to people's privacy. |
