Summit has received a ton of feature requests over the years. Over time, a group of features began to accumulate that all relied on the app to track some sort of statistic. Whether it was the number of votes per user or the number of times a community was visited, these features can all be derived from tracking events.

User tracking has a bad rep since it's often associated with ads and it's a hot topic when discussing privacy, however the data is undeniably useful. This is why Summit will start to track certain events beginning with the next release. However, rest assured that this data will be stored on the client side only and it will be easy to opt out of.
