During a user playthrough of a 3D spatial experience, Metalitix® collects "data points." By default, a data point is sent once a second.
Developers can 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 the Metalitix Loggers is available in the table below.
IP Address (Geolocation)
Session IP address is used only to determine the session’s country. By default, the server automatically obtains an anonymized IP address (x.x.x.0) to calculate the country. IP addresses are never saved.
