Last updated 4 days ago

Android developers publishing on the Google Play store must define what data their apps collect, including the data collected by integrated third-party SDKs such as Analytics. For your convenience, Analytics provides information on its data collection practices below.

Warning

The data disclosures below are for the Analytics SDK only. You are also responsible for providing any additional disclosures for your app, including other Unity SDKs and/or third-party SDKs used in your app.

For more information on Google's data safety disclosure policies, including terminology definitions, please see the Google documentation.

Data collection survey


Does the SDK collect or share any of the required user data types?	Yes*
Is all of the data collected by the SDK encrypted in transit?	Yes**
Does the SDK provide a way for users to request that their data is deleted?	Yes

Note

* Analytics offers an SDK for customers to add into their game allowing them to track their players' actions. The events being tracked can then be analyzed in a variety of tools in the Unity Dashboard. There are standard events that the SDK automatically collects such as

gameStarted

gameEnded

, etc., and users can also create their own custom events to track additional events that are specific to their game. When Analytics is used with Game Overrides users are able to use Analytics data to target a particular override at a segment of their playerbase. In order to do this, Analytics compares the user profile (composed of

installationID

and other metrics collected) against a set criteria to determine if they would be a member of the audience.** Over SSL (HTTPS).

Data types

Warning

Unity Analytics collects data specified and controlled by the developer, and can include any of the data designated with an asterisk (*). The developer should make a determination for whether they collect and/or share those data types, and whether that data is processed ephemerally, is required to be collected, and why that data is collected.
