"Trackers" in MacroDroid

Someone commented that they used an app to check other apps for "trackers," and found that MacroDroid has quite a few. I don't even know what they are, I'm not big on worry (and I don't handle sensitive personal data on my phone anyway), but is his program correct, and should it be concerning to anyone?

Macrodroid, unlike Tasker, can be used for free (with ads and some limitations but you can use it for as long as you want). This gives Tasker the advantage of not using trackers because it does not require ads as there is only a demo app limited to 7 days.

This implies the use of different types of trackers, for example ad trackers like google admob or analytics like firebase analytics, crashes and things relevant to the dev for better app performance.

These trackers are quite common in most apps, macrodroid is a secure and recognized app with almost 10 years of constant work.
Your personal and private information is not and will never be sold, that has always been present in macrodroid's privacy policy, you can check it here.

It is possible that in a few more days @MacroDroidDev will appear in this thread and can reaffirm this, or clarify it if I'm wrong.

Agree. I don't think OP need to be sensitive:)
FB, Amazon, Google or most social apps are gathering for personalization;) Give activity data, get benefits. That's tradeoff.
 
Thanks for all your input! As I said, I'm not worried. Just wanted to know what to relay. Some people are so paranoid about things that it really doesn't make sense. If Goolag wants to target you, they have hands in the intelligence services I'm sure...lol...they don't need apps to help them out.
