- Feature should be enabled by default
- Before the first update check is performed, the user must be informed about what's going to happen, pointing to the help item describing the post format and the possibility to disable it.
- The docs must state clearly what data is transmitted, how it's collected, what we do with it (and what we promise never to do), and point to the sources handling that data for reviewing purposes.
Data transmitted:
- pgadmin version in use
- language in use
- update interval (to calculate a weight)
- number of registered servers
- major version of servers that have been used with pgadmin (collected in the registry)
Collected: as above, plus country taken from requesting ip address. Explicitely not to collect: ip address.
This data would allow us to estimate the number of pgadmin instances running worldwide, its global distribution and language usage (and resulting from that, which additional languages should be supported).
Number of registered servers and versions will give us some hint about the server side.
Dave, do you know some OSS authority to review this policy?
Regards, Andreas
