The actual post mentions the following:
> We’ve designed our telemetry system to collect data on “events”. An event is essentially an action, like: Finishing our in-app onboarding, Unlocking 1Password, Creating a new item, Filling an item in a website or app.
> We won’t be collecting your saved passwords, passkeys, usernames, and any URLs associated with your items. Your private information is just that – private.
With it also being opt-in I dont see an issue with collecting basic numbers for how often people use the plugin or app, as long as they're telling the truth, I think it's fine.
- sneak 3y agoThe issue is that the data doesn't belong to the vendor - it belongs to the user. It doesn't matter that you don't personally regard it as sensitive. Also due to things like lack of ESNI and lack of onion routing to obscure client IP address, it leaks other information to the vendor and ISP like your travel history over time (via client IP geolocation) and waking/sleeping/working hours. Software that exfiltrates this information without advance consent is stealing it.
- semiquaver 3y agoWe are talking about a network-connected paid service. It’s revealing your IP address to the company that provides the service by its natural operation, such as synchronizing passwords between devices over the network. > Software that exfiltrates this information without advance consent is stealing it. I’m not sure who you are arguing with when you keep repeating this. I pointed out that the post clearly states they will obtain this consent. At any rate, you are obviously not a customer so why are you so mad?

- dns_snek 3y agoIf the data doesn't belong to anyone and therefore doesn't need to be kept secret, would you be okay with <Insert Big Corp> publishing your precise location history that reveals where you live, when you leave for work, when you come back home and when you're on vacation? It's just a fact of what happened and, at least according to your logic, you don't own it.
- ki85squared 3y agoThank you. Parent clearly didn't read the details. And wtf is with their claim of "exfiltration" when it's opt-in and you're already explicitly entrusting 1Password with your data? smh...
- spookie 3y agoWas this software audited by an external entity? I would only trust it if it was. We're dealing with quite a serious matter here.
