Re: Collecting Telemetry data for Apache Cordova project
I have recently started working on the telemetry inclusion into Cordova and
would like to request help from Apache Legal with drafting the privacy
notice.
Here is the detailed telemetry proposal:

Here's what we ended up with:
-
https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/0d5f185c45f11a46e3dc5b720e23d4b38a40779a/www/privacy/index.md
Reviews of this would be appreciated.
Otherwise, we'll use this as our privacy policy.
Thanks!

Thanks Alex,
I'll use this and do something similar for Apache Cordova and submit it for
review.

Re: Collecting Telemetry data for Apache Cordova project
Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>.
This is not an official answer, but back in 2013, Apache Flex wanted to track a little bit of information about our user's use of our Installer. We ended up with a footer (that isn't hidden by scrollbars) in our UI with the words:
"Anonymous usage statistics will be collected in accordance with our privacy policy." And when you click on the words, it takes you to this privacy policy page [1].
Maybe you can use something like this.

This x 1000
As a staunch privacy advocate, I would be very uncomfortable collecting data without allowing users to opt out.

David,
Would you happen to have links to discussions of threads in the Flex or CloudStack projects where this is discussed ?
I think we should atleast have a privacy policy, and let users opt out of collecting data. The main purpose of this data is to understand the places where users experience most errors, or the commands that are most unused in our Cordova tooling. Cordova has a NodeJS based command line interface and this is where the data would be collected. We have not yet decided on where this data is stored or who controls it.
Before we looked into those questions, I first wanted to check if it was even ok for us to collect this information. Now that I understand that Apache does not have policies against collecting data, I think that it would make sense for Cordova committers to get back and answer the questions like
- where the data lives - I am guessing this would be some Apache server
- who can access this data - I think at the minimum, the apache committers and PMC would be able to access the data. We should discuss this in the community and see if it makes sense to let everyone be able to read this data, since this is aggregated and anonymous anyway.
- Who controls the data - this should be the committers and the PMC, but will also be discussed in the community.
