Is Ivory affected by the Pastebot hack?

Does Ivory track you too without disclosure? The privacy report for the macOS app says they don't collect data but the Pastebot app also says it doesn't when it does.

Do you have a reference to what you're talking about with the Pastebot app?

Usually there isn't any private data in crash logs and analytics anyway.

I don't trust Tapbots since they don't disclose their collection of analytics data.

I emailed Pastebot support asking about the undisclosed analytics tracking and if they were hacked. They replied that their apps are secure, they don't collect analytics from any of their apps, and to read the privacy policy. But that's a lie because their apps send analytics data. You can see it with Little Snitch.

Does anyone have a contact for one of their developers?

I discovered an open source app called Ice Cubes. I'm not using any Tapbots apps anymore.
