    Hello,
    I am building an app that will collect fb logins and some user data (age,sex,time of the purchase). Can I use unity analytics for that? I saw custom column integration so it seems like it is possible. Have anyone created such dashboard through unity analytics?

    Thanks

    Hi @firativerson,

    We strongly discourage sending personally identifiable information, such as facebook logins, using Custom Events since that is not what the system was intended for. Additionally, keep in mind that each string value you send in a Custom Event costs 1 Analysis Point. And given your limit, that could add up very quickly.

    You can find more information about Analysis Points in this thread:
    http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/new-custom-event-limits-please-read.315594/

    Demographic information however, can be integrated into your analytics events. We have a couple of built-in demographics functions that you can use for this.

    https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Analytics.Analytics.SetUserGender.html
    https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Analytics.Analytics.SetUserBirthYear.html

    The Gender Segments are created by default in your dashboard and you can create any Age Segments you like, so you can use them in the Data Explorer to filter any relevant metric by gender or age group.
