Hi,
1password on iOS does connect to Microsoft AppCenter without asking for user consent.
On iOS the domains of network requests from apps are collected to give users insights resp. transparency...

4 years agoIt looks like they use Visual Studio App Center, which is a service that provides some developer automation tools. It seems like they are using it for crash reporting and metrics.
I intercepted the traffic and observed it sending the following data elements every time the app starts:
appBuild, appNamespace, appVersion, locale, model, oemName, osBuild, osName, osVersion, screenSize, sdkName, sdkVersion, timeZoneOffset.
Edit: the privacy implications of this depend on how 1Password uses it. Per Microsoft, the information collected as part of the crash reporting system does not include personal information unless the developer chooses to attach PII-containing data to the crash reports. I didn't see any unique ID numbers in the data I collected, though that didn't include a crash dump.
