I don’t care about them selling it. I care about them having it to start with.

  >>I care about them having it to start with. Having what? Data regarding what features of their product customers are utilizing and what features are not being used? If you were a software developer would you not want to have that kind of data? Nothing nefarious about this.

    The problem comes is that you are not in control of the scope of the data or the processing of it. Just because now is ok, it doesn’t mean tomorrow will be and once data is leaked unintentionally (look at their disastrous QA at the moment) then the data protection liability lands on your feet. If you don’t control the software you use then you are at risk regardless of the proposed purpose or promise. I find this attitude of accepting product surveillance (telemetry is an unfairly nice term) totally negligent.
