Optional usage sharing and privacy
See the prepared Church Remote anonymous usage controls, what is excluded, and why live collection is currently disabled.
Current release status
Optional usage-sharing controls are prepared in internal build 26. Production collection is disabled while the private Dodec dashboard deployment and privacy readiness are pending. The current public App Store download does not collect this usage data.
When activated
Menu → Usage & Privacy will offer explicit optional sharing. Declining leaves equipment controls available. Intended events describe anonymous foreground visits, approximate open time, active duration and selected screen/integration/button categories. A new random visit ID is used for each foreground visit, without a persistent user or installation identifier.
What is excluded
Equipment names and addresses, rooms, saved device identities, credentials, PINs, presentation content, timer values, typed text and screenshots are excluded. This is not screen recording or replay. A requested button action is not a confirmation that physical equipment changed.
Choice and retention
When enabled in a future activated build, sharing can be turned off and unsent visits cleared. Prepared limits are 24 hours for unsent local events and 30 days for the private server records. The published privacy policy and App Store disclosures must be updated before production activation. Website contact/update forms have their own explicit purposes and do not enable app analytics.
