Any service that claims to be "free" and doesn't have a very obvious business model gets me very suspicious. I usually start reading the service's privacy policy.

This website's "Privacy Policy" states:

> We collect [personal information] by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used.

Yet personal data is collected through Google Analytics without being mentioned anywhere and without my consent. The policy is also the linked privacy policy for the Android and iOS app. It doesn't let the reader know why personal information is collected and how it's used, as it claims. Is that different in the actual apps? Also, what data does the website and the app collect?
