Clarification on where private data is being transmitted

I recently noticed in the last 2 weeks or so that the Roll20 app ( in game) is transmitting data in the background that I was not aware of.  Specifically, it is connecting to: roll20.net (obviously) Firebase.io Fanburst.com (appears to be for in game music) s3.amazonaws.com Google-analytics.com I am not making accusations, but I would like clarification on exactly what data is being passed on to these other sites and for what purpose.  I have disabled the other 4 websites, and everything seems to run fine (no music without Fanburst). I for one do not trust Google with my personal information and block their services for all websites.  The only excuse I can think of Amazon being on that list is to store files rather than locally on roll20.  Either way, a little clarification would go a long way.  Thanks.

The s3.amazonaws.com is where some of the game files are stored, I think. I belive the google-analytics is mostly to track what game types of being played for their quarterly reports. Those are my assumptions at this point but I'm sure a more knowledgeable person will enlighten us.

As Pat S. stated Amazon is for file storage. Firebase.io is something like a database with distributed automatic updates (f.e. attributes in the character sheets)

Firebase provides a database as a service. It stores things like where your tokens are on the tabletop, character attributes, the contents of the API's state  variable, etc. (FWIW, since you say you don't trust Google, Firebase was acquired by Google in 2014.) Google-analytics is used for analyzing web traffic. It gives the Roll20 team a better idea about who their customer base is.
