The gabenative apps don’t collect personally identifiable information, but they collect non-personally identifiable information using third party services. This is the list of third party services used in the gabenative apps:

Google Firebase

The gabenative apps use Firebase Analytics to collect app usage statistics. Gabenative uses this usage statistics to improve it’s apps. Firebase Analytics can be disabled in the settings of the apps. The apps use Firebase Ads (AdMob) to show ads.

Which data is collected?

This is what the Firebase Help page says: “The type of information collected through Firebase Analytics’s default implementation includes:
  • the number of users and sessions
  • session duration
  • operating systems
  • device models
  • geography
  • first launches
  • app opens
  • app updates
  • in-app purchases
See a full list of the default events and user properties collected by Firebase Analytics. […] The Firebase SDK library uses an app-instance identifier to Identify a unique installation of the App. When using the SDK, an app-instance identifier gets generated at the app level. By default, the Firebase SDK will collect identifiers for mobile devices (e.g., Android Advertising ID and Advertising Identifier for iOS) and utilize technologies similar to cookies. On iOS, the SDK will collect the Advertising Identifier if it is available. In order for IDFA to be available, a developer has to link in the following libraries:
  • libAdIdAccess.a
  • AdSupport.framework
If the Advertising Identifier is unavailable, the SDK will collect the Vendor Identifier. If the Advertising Identifier becomes available after the Vendor Identifier was reported, the SDK will stop collecting the Vendor Identifier. By default, on Android the SDK will collect Android Advertising ID. […] By default, the SDK will collect in-app purchase information on iOS via the public transaction observer methods from Apple. On Android, this is enabled via Google Play In-app Billing. Both iOS and Android in-app purchase tracking can be turned off via the disableAutomatedInAppPurchaseReporting() method.” (Firebase Help)
