      Automatic Crash Reporting

      Opting into automatic crashing reporting by ticking the ‘Auto Crash Report’ option in the Fenix app significantly helps us trace the root cause of unexpected crashes and errors.

      Opt-in & why
      Opting into automatic crashing reporting by ticking the ‘Auto Crash Report’ option in the Fenix app significantly helps us trace the root cause of unexpected crashes and errors that happen in any FenixSim application. This is limited to: FenixSystems, FenixDisplays, FenixCDU, Fenix.GqlGateway, FenixWizard and FenixBootstrapper.

       

      When a crash or error has been detected, details of the exception are reported to us. This information contains device specific information like your operating system version, Fenix build numbers, program stack trace and your Fenix user ID. This helps to trace exactly where the problem is so that we can deliver fixes for the crashes automatically without you needing to submit a support ticket and manually sending your log files. 

       

      Opting into automatic crash reporting is completely optional and is privacy focused so that we only collect the information that is needed. Full details of the information collected can be found below. You may opt out at any time and you will never be automatically opted in without your consent.

      Information that we collect

      We collect this information using a widely popular, privacy centric application performance monitoring service called Sentry, more details can be found at https://sentry.io. This information is used to rapidly diagnose and fix system errors and crashes in FenixSim software.
