what is assembly_googleanalytics.dll doing in the game files

i found it in the games files. /home/me/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Valheim/valheim_Data/Managed/assembly_googleanalytics.dll
does it collect data about my computer, ip and sessions and then sends it to google?
i would be very upset if i found out valheim has been giving data to google.
btw i am on Linux

I read that post also but it seems to be missing now. It was a necro of an old post

I work in app development, so not exactly the same thing but we use google analytics to keep track of how users interact with the app, like what buttons they press and generally what they get up to. No personal info is saved.

Expect your topic to be deleted. A similar topic a few days ago is gone. A mod posted to nexus a couple days ago is gone.

Patch notes say google analytics was disabled some time ago, but hmm... still there.
