How are users tracked within the mobile app

In the mobile app, user actions are tracked with certain parameters included to help Drinkaware evaluate feature functionality and performance. These user analytics are optional, and enrolment can be controlled at the operating system (OS) level by the user (this was mandated via the updates we’ve made to meet new Android and iOS requirements).

The only two services currently installed on the app are Google Firebase (the app analytics platform) and Facebook (mainly for reporting ad clicks).
