How would you trust me if I tell you that there isn’t any analytics?

You’re right. Like Dropbox has a free version, and a paid one. Right now we are launching the free version, and paid features will come later.

Absolutely, I’ve designed the product so that my mom can use it. She can’t use a Chrome extension, but she can download an app like Jumbo.

1/ I’m thinking about ways to have trustable 3-parties audit us. Open for more ideas. What do you think?

3/ yes, unroll.me made the wrong calls. But for Jumbo we can’t even access your data, everything happens client-side. You could say that at some point the client will upload all your to our cloud, but that’s really not going to happen. Again, here, how to trust us? First, audits. Second, my reputation. Third, independent researchers would reverse engineering our app, and look at the networks call made. Open for more feedback

Our business model is the one of Dropbox. Pay (you or your employer) for more features.

1/ What do you mean confirm what I'm saying for the IP address exactly?

2/ I said we don't use any (mobile) SDKs from 3-parties analytics, but we do use their backend (Segment, Amplitude). We send the requests from our anonymous proxy directly to their servers.

I was worried that mobile SDKs would leak other data (iOS version, device size, ...) that I don't want to know about. And as a general rule we don't like to use SDK/code from 3parties for security reasons.

3/ We use analytics to track how many users are using the app, and how many users are using the cleaning features. This data does help us to make strategic decisions.

I guess I meant... we call a Apple API to ask for a anonymous Device UUID. Precisely: UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString

Do you still think that's "bullshit"?
