What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

LJ was very adamant about not collecting or keeping any user data under the reddit regime. I'm happy giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

The point is we don't formally know.

The dev has stated that the tracking is disabled if ads are disabled, and other users have confirmed that via duckduckgo.

Hope this works but here's what ddg is showing me was blocked. Only Google attempted to track and it was only once before I purchased ultra. Basically everything Google already knows about anyone using android.

TIL the DuckDuckGo app protection, thanks!

What's that app you're using to see that info?

It's duckduckgo private browser. It does more than just browsing, there's an app tracking protection feature.
