Bug ID: 155459
Summary: Point to the relevant section of Privacy Policy from
the Options->LibreOffice->General help, "Send crash
reports to The Document Foundation" section
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mikekagan...@hotmail.com
A user on IRC raised a concern about what is being sent in the crash reports,
and why is it not an option to disable sending them, during installation.
> By default, there is a on-by-default setting deep in the settings of
> Writer/LibreOffice which says "Send crash reports to The Document Foundation".
> This is never communicated and allowed to uncheck during the installation.
> This freaks me out. What "crash data" data is it sending if this is enabled?
> If it has anything to do with file names, file CONTENTS, or anything about my
> computer or myself, it's horrible.
> Since it's not mentioned and there is no "More info" or anything, I'm left at
> guessing. And I'm assuming the worst these days.
The respective help [1] should emphasize the (already mentioned there, but not
enough) fact that *when the option is enabled*, the user will be asked before
each send; and disabling the option disables the whole feature - but when
enabled, it will never send without additional request.
And the help should also point to the respective Privacy Policy [2] section
I.XI "Absturzberichte (crash reports)", which is the authoritative information
about what is sent, and how it is processed.
