During a user playthrough of a 3D spatial experience, Metalitix collects "data points." By default, a data point is sent once a second but developers can increase or decrease this frequency.
Developers can also choose when to begin recording data or when to stop. However, data collection stops once the user closes the 3D experience and does not persist during other device activities.
While Metalitix does not collect personal information such as address or image captures, it is up to the developers using Metalitix to confirm and communicate that their experience complies with local privacy laws.
A full breakdown of data collected by Metalitix is available in the table below.
