"We won’t be collecting your saved passwords, passkeys, usernames, and any URLs associated with your items. Your private information is just that – private.

All event data will be de-identified and processed in aggregate before it’s used for analysis. "

It sounds like they plan on releasing the technical details in the coming days/weeks. I'm curious how its de-identified and processed.

Doesn't join-lemmy.org do the same thing with telemetry? As long as this is GDPR compliant, then there's no personal data to track.

    Almost every product tracks user behaviour. It’s how they utilise that data that should concern us. In this case, this doesn’t concern me at all. I’ve already decided to trust them with my passwords.

    Exactly. They are being transparant, it looks like it will be an opt-in when the time comes and are already telling you why they are collecting data. Now if they will tell you exactly what data they will be collecting in a short way before asking approval this is a textbook example of how analytics data collection should be done.
