I'm speaking from an Firefox for iOS perspective here, but it is my understanding that this is something we also intend to do for Android: 1. We keep Adjust to track attribution - where did the download come from. We send one ping after install back to Adjust. This is currently implemented on iOS and if I understand correctly, also on Android. 2. We do not use Adjust for tracking retention and usage; instead that will be done through Unified Telemetry. We have a good set of rules for Telemetry. What data can we send back to Mozilla without Opt-In and what data specifically needs Opt-In permission from the user. It was my understanding that continuous usage tracking would be part of the opt-in data set. I feel very uncomfortable about sending continuous pings to a third-party service. Even if we have vetted that service. S.
