Maybe I do not understand. But my version of Appcloud is not Israeli.
I have a Samsung M, with bloatware including AppCloud. It has terms of service and privacy policy and mentions what open source code it uses. It is a product of Aura for Unity and not from Israel. It DOES COLLECT A SH*TLOAD OF DATA if I may believe the privacy policy so it is disabled in my system.

I’m not familiar with any of this yet but I do know Unity merged with the Israeli company IronSource a few years ago.
Right. That explains it, thanks.
