What would be non-personal data in this case?

? > "Or something... such as information about files being sent... Or app telemetry etc." Information about files being sent could be anything from metadata, checksums, to something like (but not likely) CSAM. Could also be data about your device(s), anything really.

  But what though? Do you have an example of any such thing? Github makes it effortless to link righ to a specific line of code in a file. Show us a single one of these anythings.

    There must be a disconnect here. We are talking about the privacy policy. Nothing else. The policy says that they don't collect, store, or process any personal data. That is great! What is not great is that the policy does not discuss whether or what type of other non-personal data is collected/stored/processed. That makes it a bad privacy policy. That is what I commented on.

      Could you explain in what way sharing non-personal data could violate someone's privacy? You mention earlier data about your devices, this seems to me like it would fall into the `personal data` category, and be excluded.

      This is like saying that their data & privacy statement doesn't explain the contents of their office refrigerator. There sure is a disconnect. What exactly is not great? What's missing? I see only 2 possible arguments here and neither one seems to actually exist, but you tell me what I'm missing. One possibility is there is some data that the statement doesn't cover. Let's see... The statement says they don't posess anything at all. And since the statement is so short, there is no possibility to hide any technicalities in confusing fine print. So, what data isn't included in "we don't have anything"? What is something the statement says or fails to say? All I see is farcical things like "aha! but it doesn't say what they are going to do with my email!" 1, yes it does, 2, what email? The other possibility is the statement is a lie because the code sends them data. Does it?
