Remove User Tracking or Add Privacy Policy #254

Description

Describe the feature you'd like to request

3 years ago, you committed to removing user tracking "soon", but it's plainly still there, as seen here:

https://github.com/schibsted/WAAS/blob/main/src%2Fstatic%2Fsrc%2Fcomponents%2FAudioPlayer.js#L23-L30

/U/how_now_brown_cow

Haven't read through code yet but... Is it entirely self hosted? As in no data leaves the instance once spun up?

/U/olekenneth

Yes, it is. But atm we have some tracking on the usage from our users. This will be removed soon

Additionally, the implemented tracking is more than what was previously stated:

Tracking how many that opens the frontend.

The code above tracks clicks, not page opens.

Additionally, users of the app would only know their data was being collected through code review.

Describe the solution you'd like

Remove user tracking from the app, or, if that's not the direction taken, make sure data collected is plainly documented in project docs.
