I am not sure what are you worried about. I wrote start collecting data on the local machine and DO NOT send it to anywhere. It is just like logging to make debugging easier. I also wrote ask the user if you can send the data and send only if she approves it. Are we so worried that we would not even want to log this data on the local disk?
