GameAnalytics (GA) was aquired by Mobvista 2016. Their service is realtime-monitoring 2,3 billion active users each month.
What data is collected?
GameAnalytics
The scope of GA is somewhat larger and interested users should do an own research. At least it's monitoring your Hard/Software, IP, playtime, level sections, keystrokes, demographic data, highscores, used ingame ressources and so on.
Unity Analytics
Unity gets your deviceID, IP, playtime, data of your OS and gaming progress. This behaviour can be seen in mostly every product with Unity-Engine as long as the behavior has not been explicitly disabled by devs.
How is data collected
Unity-Analytics (event-telemetry) during game initialization and between every level/screen
GameAnalytics realtime-monitoring service is doing callbacks back to their API every 6 seconds
Both services are using UUID's (unique user ids) to identify user. Partly cross over platforms.
Is the data confidential or personal?
Personal and accordingly uniquely attributable userdata
Summary
A typical data theft. Consumers are not informed and this behaviour is an example how consumers are self-service stores for BigTech.
