We don't store anything, everything is in the localstorage. We only use Google Analytics without any custom code, we don't use it to track specific metrics.
The app is open-source, you can have a look at the code.

Missed opportunity IMO, I would pay good money to get access to that kind of data, especially as it acquired more users.

So it's a missed opportunity to make money without regard to the ethics of user privacy?
Thanks for being part of the problem I guess?

It’s anonymous data. I don’t see how getting data on which applications are getting hits and around what times they occur is violating anyone’s privacy.
