Privacy Policy reworked #35
Conversation

Thanks for taking a stab at this (and all the other docs)! Since this is legalese, and I got it from Overcast, I would rather not change it without understanding the implications here. |

| We do not collect any data through the app, the only data that is exchanged is between the app and the iPerf 3 server you are connecting to. The help section is embedded in the app and does not connect to a server. We recommend [running your own iPerf 3 server](https://github.com/ndfred/iperf-ios/blob/master/Documentation/Help.md). | ||

Who is "We", and what amounts to "data". This sentence is bad.
Why is it recommended to run your own server?

Using what? Protocol, encryption, etc.

| ## Analytics | ||
|
|
||
| The app does not collect any analytics beyond what is needed to run an iPerf 3 test as described in the prior section. | ||
| The app itself does not collect any info, and its operation does not exchange any info with the server that is considered personal data as per [article 4 of the EU-GDPR](https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/). The app does not collect or send anything beyond what is described in "Collected info". |

There are no analytics. What consititutes "the app" is varies distinctly based on where it is fetched from. While not incorrect, in the interest of not being spied on, I tried to make this point clearer. Still not good.

Collecting consent this way is legally null and void. Explaining that it can't do anything if this doesnt happen, as that is what it does, is relevant.

Should be a link to the full version.

That makes sense. I was wondering why it happened to be so strangely made. |
