Bravo apps do track data from the apps using some third party providers, we do collect some identifiers to allow some of the functionalities like a DeviceID and UserID (for App functionality) which can be used on the API Bridge, we do track some anonymous usage data on the apps which helps us improving our product and resolving issues (usage data for analytics).
