Thats not what it says, it says they may. I’m inclined to believe their statement on it, and I think this was just added so they have the ability to change business model.
REGARDLESS, the costs of having your anonymised data sent off to someone is very low, and is far outweighed by the benefits of proper analytics. They’re GDPR compliant, so they definitely won’t be sending off specific user data
For the record, large customer data platforms, cloud analytics platforms, and mobile application telemetry apis all have privacy policies like that @TheAviator01. It wouldn’t surprise me that GameAnalytics has something similar. This is just a legal disclaimer for the fact that they may utilize third-party customer data processing apis which likely could be used to track or inform advertisers or vendors.
For comparison’s sake, any Android or iOS mobile application can choose to track IDFA/IDFV data about consumers that persists across app sessions and can be used (legally or illegally) to inform 3rd parties. You’d be surprised what GDPR, HIPAA, and other data privacy compliant platforms could do with your information. I’d not be any more concerned about GameAnalytics than I would be about Clash of Clans or Roblox itself.
Just now seeing this. Nice module.
I have one question. What would I do if I have a sink/source that involves two currencies at the same time? My game has two currencies and some transactions take both at the same time.
Im getting this error:
14:31:44.409 - AnnotateEvent is not a valid member of ReplicatedStorage
14:31:44.410 - Stack Begin
14:31:44.410 - Script ‘ReplicatedStorage.Analytics.AnalyticsModule’, Line 442 - function ClientInit
14:31:44.411 - Script ‘Players.hisokachan.PlayerScripts.Analytics.LocalScript’, Line 2
14:31:44.411 - Stack End
All I’ve done is make a folder in RepStorage and PlayerScripts and copied the code from the guide. The player script is a local script btw.
Any thoughts?
I was attempting to Initiate the module from Replicated Storage which doesn’t run scripts therefore the module wasn’t running. I fixed this issue by moving my main init script to ServerScriptService
I’m now getting this error several times after I join the game
15:15:28.512 - ReplicatedStorage.Analytics.AnalyticsModule:244: attempt to index nil with ‘Name’

By the way, GameAnalytics has a Roblox SDK! You don’t even have to use a custom module!
Its custom SDK doesn’t work last time I checked - at all!
Whenever I’ve used their Roblox SDK it’s worked fine. Are you only testing in Studio? When in Studio requests are sent to the sandbox API, not the production API.
This doesn’t seem to work for me, I get this error message when I try to use RecordTransaction or RecordResource:
I looked at the source code, and it seems that this is causing the problem:
URL_Events = "http://api.gameanalytics.com/v2/" .. GameKey .. "/events"
I went to the link and it said this
Please help, thanks!
Wow! Goodbye, blade and rtrack!
Thanks so much, this will definitely help me out 
Here is a high five for your effort 
Edit: I will be using this on Infinite Autocorrect and What’s The Word (front-page games). For anybody scrolling by, it works great!
Making a seperate reply, because this should get some attention.
You do use spawn, which is inefficient.
I would reccommend something like coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(func()end))?
EDIT: Oop, there are some issues. Anybody know how to solve the “Http 400” error?
Does that after every attempt to send request.
GameAnalytics made an official SDK for Roblox!
Nice tutorial though!
It’s not recommended to use it. It has many critical errors that can disable other functions in other scripts(For example some MarketplaceService stuff)
Anyways, this is pretty nice! Is there any way to send Premium Playtime? I don’t understand http://restapidocs.gameanalytics.com/#event-types
I’m just wondering if you could elaborate what you mean by:
How would a script be able to disable a service’s functionality?
Firstly, some stuff randomly errors.
And one example of overwriting other script(s) funtionlity is the MarketplaceService’s function to handling product purchases
Wow thank you so much for making this! I have only one question, how does writing a random string name find a game pass or dev product when recording transactions? Like I could say I have a gamepass that gives free food, and the price is 5000000 robux, so I write, (player, 5000000, but then how would I actually call the gamepass, because writing “Free:Food:Gamepass” isn’t going to do anything as far as I know?)
You don’t call the gamepass, just write the name of it. For better organisation on the GA website, type “Gamepass:Food”, but the data GA receives isn’t directly tied to Roblox, its just recording what you tell it.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for replying!
But what am I supposed to tell it?
Hey, I know this is an old topic but I was wondering a few things.
First off all, thanks @yejoice for making this.
How does the monetization work? I have several products in the same category with different prices? How would it know which one is bought?
