Hi, as not everyone follows long threads, let's start again for the remaining issues.
https://community.kde.org/Policies/Telemetry_Policy The following questions were left unanswered in the previous thread (see there for the full arguments if needed): (1) Should we allow opt-in tracking of unique identifiers? This was requested by Jaroslaw, as Kexi has this right now and the policy as written right now would thus conflict with it. (2) Should we require/allow/forbid publication of the raw data? Publication was suggested by Martin F. Practically, this would have to allow for a certain delay, we can't have public access to live data. Suitable licensing options of the data would probably be CC0 or CC-BY-SA. (3) Should we require a revocation feature? That is, allow the user to "delete" the data they submitted from the server. This was also suggested by Martin F, and is technically possible without compromising anonymity. (4) Should we define limits on how long we store the raw data? Brought up by Bhushan. (5) Should we require an "audit log" feature? Thas is, allow the user to see a detailed record of what has been submitted so far? Martin S suggested this (and it has been meanwhile implemented in KUserFeedback). Not from the previous thread, but from a discussion in Randa: (6) What is the "lower bound" of where we consider this policy to apply? That is, does checking for application updates/news (and possibly tracking that on the server) already count as "telemetry" in this context? See e.g. the current practice in Akregator or KDevelop. Allowing (1) might conflict with (2) allowing publication, unique identification brings us in personal data territory. Publication might also conflict with (3) and (4). So, what's your view on those issues? :) Thanks! Volker
