What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

    Can someone explain what this means. The ads/tracking is not activated in Sync for Lemmy? If so, why have it in the code.

      Basically all tracking is done by Google ads. It checks at start up if you have purchased ad free or not. If purchased, launch app without ad library, else launch with ads. It has to be in the code because (according to the dev) Google is cracking down on similar apps, ie a pro version and a free version. So ad library has to be included, and it just won’t use it if you pay for pro

        Makes sense, thanks. I think I misunderstood the comment I was replying to.
