This is far too simple of a view. - For the large part the concern is what is done with the data. - Data can be anonymized. (Although this is often hard to verify) - You can hide the data in the client. For example imagine you want to know how many users use feature X. You can send an analytics report with 90% chance of a random value, and 10% chance sending the true boolean. You can't tell if any specific user has used the feature (because most likely it is a random value) but you can get a pretty good estimate what portion of your users use the feature. My understanding is that Plausible is focused on the use an anonymization.
