Questions of analytics and legality

If you have ever used Google Analytics in your applications, have you included information that you collect information from them? Or will you miss it? This will be my first experience using Analytics, and I just wanted to hear your opinion on this.

Thanks.

Be transparent. Tell the user that you are collecting data, explain what you are collecting, and give them the option to refuse.

Currently, there is a lot of talk about address books and photos being uploaded without user consent. You want your users to understand what you collect and that you respect them and their personal data.

You might want to take a look at Localytics. Their library is open source, so you can see what data is collected, and you can enable logging to find out what will be downloaded. Using their services will not allow you to configure your own server.

tagEvent: it would be useful to collect where users spend their time, probably there is no need to go to a paid plan.

It is almost always safe (legally) to use anonymous information. If you collect information and link it to an email or account, you really have to let people know what you are doing.

Regardless of what would be better / require in some places, so that somewhere in the application it is noticed that you are collecting data.
