Flurry User ID is it evil?


So I recently added Flurry analytics to my app and I added the user Id equivalent with my in-app usernames. When I check flurry the data is not visibile to me. Ultimately I just wanted to see users that used the app the most but I can't seem a way to view this data.

Now, I'm exaggerating when I say Evil, but I don't really want to give usernames to Flurry just so they can store it. Is there any benefit to me on giving this data? What's your opinion? Obviously I want to respect my users privacy, is this violating that?


Solution

  • The user ID set on Flurry is available under the Events Logs section. The Flurry userId can be used to tie a user back to your internal systems. This userId will travel along with any event reporting that the Flurry Dev Portal provides. It is highly recommended to seek user permission before collecting any data for analytics.
