Description
Theget started page of flutter.dev says:
The flutter tool uses Google Analytics to anonymously report feature usage statistics and basic crash reports. [...]
To disable reporting, typeflutter config --no-analytics. [...]
If you opt out of analytics, an opt-out event is sent, and then no further information is sent by the Flutter tool.
According to theGDPR and a recent German court decision, analytics are defined as non-necessary services and require explicit, voluntary consent beforeflutter can send any data. Providing a CLI flag or a first-run opt-out is illegal in the EU/EEC.
🙏 Please, makefluter never send an opt-out event when the user opts out of analytics.
🙏 Please disable analytics by default. You may fix that by adding a CLI flag:
flutter config --enable-analytics🙏 Please, Alphabet employees, respect the law, don't be evil.
