Google Analytics

[Crashed]

Why doesn't the Privacy Policy disclose it? Google requires disclosure of their Analytics product per their TOS.
I posted a Support ticket and it got silently closed.

No specific mention of Google Analytics.

Because you don't need to? Only if you use the service for advertising.

You may have read the advertising component page; the main TOS is at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html
The specific section to understand is section 7:

You must disclose the use of Google Analytics, and how it collects and processes data. This can be done by displaying a prominent link to the site “How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps”, (located at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, or any other URL Google may provide from time to time).

Except it doesn't collect our date. It collects store statistics, such as purchases and is used by the developers. If it was being use to collect information on us, it would be required.

If you feel Valve is in violation of such agreement, then I suggest contacting Google on the matter. These forums are not the place for such a discussion.
