All of that data is also crucial if you want to sell advertising against your user base.

I don't think we have to deal with that. iAd and Admob provide the ads so we don't have to.

Oh, I had assumed you were selling the app and not going to show ads.

Displaying your own ads might be something to think about - collecting user info over time and delivering highly targeted ads might be more profitable.

Maybe.

I have no idea on how targeted iAds or Admob are. I'd assume there would be some tracking of sorts.
