A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It sounds like they plan on releasing the technical details in the coming days/weeks. I'm curious how its de-identified and processed.

Almost every product tracks user behaviour. It’s how they utilise that data that should concern us. In this case, this doesn’t concern me at all. I’ve already decided to trust them with my passwords.

Exactly. They are being transparant, it looks like it will be an opt-in when the time comes and are already telling you why they are collecting data. Now if they will tell you exactly what data they will be collecting in a short way before asking approval this is a textbook example of how analytics data collection should be done.
