No the data records don't fall into any of those categories. The app just makes logs which function is called with which parameters (but only string / numeric values, no binary data involved so also no pictures). It's more like a "function xy(1, 2, 3) called" style with also logging of exception messages / stack traces. User input is only logged if it has no sensitive data (or anything that is able to identify the user). So search queries within the app are tracked. I know the article and that is why I was thinking if this kind of analytics also falls into such a category even if it is not possible to use the data for anything else or identify the user. And it is hard to explain because most users won't understand that bug fixing and error tracking needs those kinds of logs (or at least are much much easier with them). Also I think privacy is a important part of the digital life but does something like this really counts if it is unuseable except for bug fixing (and of course keep track which portions of the app are more frequently used over the whole user base)?
