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?

Hi All. I am next to illiterate in tracking /ads protection, so please advise: would Adguard disable all that mess? I was a paying user of Sync for Reddit, and will likely pay for this version as well if it is as polished, but i do have a nasty paranoia (or just a healthy desire to maintain my privacy, depending on one’s views) and am on a quest to disable as much of tracking as possible wherever I can .

Hey, it isn’t paranoia if they really are out to get us, and we already know that they are.

I use adguard and everywhere that an ad was supposed to be it just said “sponsored content” lol. I paid for the ad free anyway because I like the dev and don’t mind supporting him

Use a duckduckgo tracker blocker. It’ll show you what trackers it has and what they typically collect.

This can be deceiving for link aggregator apps, because it’ll also pick up trackers that other sites are using, and not the app itself.

In addition as the earlier reply mentions – “typically” collect. It has no knowledge of the data I believe. Simply what tracker is used and what it can be used for. Good for who, but not for what.
