Good point. We use Firebase/Google Analytics for basic analytics (e.g., to analyze what features of Niagara Launcher are used the most and capture crashes). More sensitive data (e.g., the history of app launches if the user opts into our Digital Wellbeing Initiative) is only sent to our servers, hosted by Hetzner, to have complete control over the data. We delete it after 90 days. I don't know the retention periods of the Firebase and Google Analytics products off the top of my head; I'll discuss with our team how long they are and if anything persists longer than necessary. I'll also update the linked article afterward - thanks for the tip!
Keep up the good work, I've used Niagara when I was at Android (on iOS now by my firm Rules) and I found it a very good value prop with an polished execution.
