Funny thing - when I bought avast licence a couple of years back I went through a pretty long and weird process asking avast to remove my credit card details (it took them around a week with some 3rd parties being involved) and finally they told me they removed everything and do not know about my credit card… Guess what - now, when the credit card is expired - avast sends me all types of notifications about my credit card expiration… Like really?! You said you removed my credit card info, but you still know the expiration date and credit card number? Like what did you remove than those 2 years back? And what else does avast collect (and have no idea what else does) with the private data of their clients?

A.I. comes up with additional info for one of the trackers (ads): Unity3d Ads
Unity3D Ads, a platform for monetizing mobile games and apps, is also mentioned in the report you shared. According to the report, Unity 3D Ads collects a wide range of user data, including:
Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs)
Ad IDs (e.g., Google Ad ID, IDFA)
Location data
Device information (e.g., model, OS, screen size)
Browser type and version
Operating system version
App usage data (e.g., which apps are installed, which pages are viewed)
Geolocation data
The report highlights that Unity3D Ads does not provide a clear explanation of what data is collected, how it’s used, or how it’s shared with third parties. This lack of transparency and control over user data can be concerning for users.
In terms of the reasons why end-users might not know about or check the licencing terms and conditions of Unity3D Ads, some additional factors might apply:
Complexity: Unity3D Ads is a complex platform with many features and integrations, making it difficult for users to understand the scope of data collection.
Deep integration: Unity3D Ads is deeply integrated with the Unity game engine, making it hard for users to distinguish between Unity’s core functionality and the ads platform.
Third-party vendors: Unity3D Ads relies on third-party vendors for some services, which can increase the complexity and opacity of the data collection process.
End-user assumptions: Users might assume that since they’re using a well-known platform like Unity3D, they’re already familiar with the data collection practices and can trust that they’re being handled responsibly.
Lack of clear notification: Unity3D Ads might not provide clear notifications or prompts to users about data collection, making it easy for users to miss or overlook this information.
To improve transparency and user trust, Unity3D Ads could consider providing clearer explanations of their data collection practices, offering more control over user data, and implementing more prominent notifications or opt-out mechanisms for users who want to limit data collection.
Keep in mind that this is just an analysis based on publicly available information, and it’s essential to verify any concerns with official sources or documentation from Unity3D Ads themselves.
