Its good to know you champion this. No need to panic, but its easy to get complacent on this. Of course researcher's *need* data and know themselves to be trustworthy But even with the best intentions, its not just about "doing the right thing", but "being seen to do the right thing". Credibility is hard to earn and easy to destroy. Some people are overly sensitive about this... ;-) "How Target Figured Out A Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did" * https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how- target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her- father-did/#4cee9cb66668 Having a setting to enable this buried deep in Settings is probably not ideal. Such a setting *must* be off-by-default, even though I'm personally happy to enable i, I'm not so enthusiastic to go to the trouble navigating to Settings to enable it each time I start a new image. Perhaps the Welcome window should have a Privacy tab describing what data is being gathered by who, with a tick box there to enable it. I'd probably enable it more often if it was only two clicks away. cheers -ben > Esteban > > On 5 Dec 2017, at 21:39, Juraj Kubelka <[email protected]> wrote: > > I understand it.
