    Look at what Golang did with opt-in and only collecting what they need for real questions they have in a problematic way

      Thank you, I will take a look at that in detail. It does give me pause that Golang is hosted by Google and people here have extremely negative things to say about Google's privacy stance in general. We want to avoid the same result or reputation.

        You should hope to have hat problem, because it only happens when you are already big and successful.

        Your problems will be different early on.

        And for clarity, the Golang usage information is logically separate from "Google", it's of no value to them what the metrics of little parts of the go compiler are doing. They only capture data from 10% until they have statistically sufficient data

        You should not hold Google ideas or practices in your head when understanding how Go does their analytics, it is fundamentally different from web analytics and fairer than any other open source tool doing analytics.
