Proton Mail broadens its native app data collection wording to desktop and generic analytics tools
The native applications section now covers desktop as well as mobile apps and no longer names specific tools like self-hosted Sentry. Analytics and crash tools are described generically, and the stated purpose widens from fixing crashes to diagnosing problems and improving services.
Taken from you
- Specific naming of crash reporting tools (e.g. self-hosted Sentry) was removed, making collection less transparent
- Collection language now covers desktop apps and operating system providers, not just mobile
- Stated purpose widened from crash fixes to improving services, with 'other tools' allowed
