Can we have some clarification on what "Usage Data" the app collects and shares with advertisers? (lemmy.world)

What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

Usually IP address. For other things it would have to have your permission (and if you give a Lemmy app permission for your location, well it's on you). You could probably use an EU VPN. Though I'm not sure of their implementation, they might disregard your choices if you disconnect from VPN.

Hey, thinking about this, I wonder how these rules will work for a citizen of a country enforcing GDPR, who is on vacation to a country that doesn't enforce GDPR.
