You did lie. I will quote you:
Again - if you opted out of this any time before, we are respecting your very decision even after splitting the consent in settings in this latest version.
This is patently untrue. As has been demonstrated by several users. That you do not admit this is very troubling. It means you are not trustworthy in your communication with users here on the forum. We cannot be sure that what you say is in fact true... Otherwise why would anyone ever believe anything you say again?
You are taking this one sentence out of context. What I have written in the very original post
[https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=228911.msg1515948#msg1515948]was basically this:
= there used to be 1 checkbox to cover 2 things.
When separating them, we kept one of the new ones OFF
("respecting the choice that the user has done in the past regarding the Jumpshot data sharing (now called Allow usage data to be shared with 3rd parties for analysis and trends, business and marketing)")and the second was set ON by default for all.
("We decided to put the GA tracking checkbox (now called Allow usage data to be shared with 3rd parties for analysis of product performance and usage) as checked by default ")
In the following post
[https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=228911.msg1515972#msg1515972]I was digging into the difference between these two. The sentence you quoted
"Again - if you opted out of this any time before, we are respecting your very decision even after splitting the consent in settings in this latest version" was related to business and marketing purposes data sharing, the letter one I was describing.
I can gladly say we have reviewed the approach after users here flagged it, I can happily admit if I do (or a company does) a mistake, I can suppose we are in disagreement because we misunderstood ourselves in the writing... but I couldn't admit I was willingly lying when I was not - just to please you - sorry. At this point we must be boring the hell out of all other people here - so once again, thanks for engaging in the discussion, the amended product behavior is in the making and will be released soon.
