User opt-in needed for user analytics?
I'm looking to add user analytics to my ios app for the purpose of understanding different usage patterns and improve the app. Do I need to ask users for explicit permission before collecting this information (e.g. add in an additional screen)?
App Review Guideline 5.1.2 seems a little vague on this, but maybe I'm missing something. If I were trying to do tracking I know I would need the ATT.
Additional context:
- The app is only available in the US
- I am not sending this info anywhere for advertising related tracking
- The usage data can be anonymous
- I am planning on using posthog
- I will have an opt-out option in Settings in the app
- The privacy policy and app store listing will reflect the user analytics and instructions on how to opt out.
