The Analytics Tracking and App Permission Requests settings let you control how user data is collected and how your app requests access to device features like analytics tracking, location, camera, and calendar.
These settings are critical for compliance, transparency, and user trust. You can choose whether analytics data is collected with consent, anonymously, or identified, and customize the permission dialogs shown to users on iOS and Android.
You can also configure integrations with third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook, and Segment through the Control Panel.
Requirements
(Optional) Analytics integrations enabled under Settings → Integrations
