Changes

The data collection page said that opt-out prevents "all data" from being captured and sent. That's not right. Opt-out stops event capture, but feature flags still load: posthog-js has worked this way since PostHog/posthog-js#3596 was closed, Android always did, and PostHog/posthog-ios#1004 aligned iOS in 3.93.3. PostHog/sdk-specs#167 makes it the cross-SDK rule. Events the SDK queued before the opt-out can also still be sent.

Updates to the opt-out section:

• The summary table row says opt-out covers event capture, not all data collection.
• The "Asking for opt out" section says opt-out stops new events, then lists what it doesn't affect: /flags requests (which carry the distinct ID and any person properties set for flag evaluation) and events already queued on the device.
• The flags bullet names iOS 3.93.3 as the minimum version, since older iOS releases blocked flag loads while opted out.
• The CMP steps say "no events are captured" instead of "nothing is captured".

Checklist

Review finding; approval will be submitted separately as explicitly requested.

[marandaneto]

blocking: Scope the iOS version requirement to identify-triggered reloads — The blanket ‘iOS requires 3.93.3 or later’ qualifier is too broad: released 3.93.2 already permits explicit reloadFeatureFlags() while opted out, sending the distinct ID and person properties. 3.93.3 changed the identify() path, not general flag loading. Please narrow or remove this qualifier so integrations on older releases do not infer that opt-out prevents those requests. Reproduction: reproduced — make test filter=PostHogIdentityTests/piReviewFlagsWhileOptedOutBefore3933 on released 3.93.2 (shared SDK implementation on macOS) compiled and failed the no-request assertion with one mocked flags request containing identity/person properties; the corresponding documentation accuracy check also failed on the reviewed head.

🤖 An AI agent wrote this on behalf of @ioannisj.

Good catch, dropped the qualifier in 7032c3c. reloadFeatureFlags() on 3.93.2 has no opt-out guard, so the only thing #1004 changed was the identify() path, and that detail doesn't belong on this page.

[marandaneto]

Approving as explicitly requested, with the iOS minimum-version scope correction noted in the inline review comment. That finding remains outstanding.
