Objectively speaking, how valuable would that information be if it were to be leaked? Random weekly aggregated and sampled machine data associated to random IPs that in most cases would no longer be yours (and that’s in the worst case that both servers were compromised or misused by an employee during a specific time window, because IP is not stored in the analytics server but temporally in a proxy to prevent abuse).

I don’t know, I’m all for privacy but people get passionate too easily the moment someone even mentions the word telemetry and I think we should focus on actual privacy issues, like analytics in the context of ads, social networks (tiktok, fb, ig…), etc.
