We’ll soon be rolling out a privacy-preserving telemetry system to customer accounts. Learn how the rollout is going to work, and the steps we’ve taken to protect your privacy.

"We won’t be collecting your saved passwords, passkeys, usernames, and any URLs associated with your items. Your private information is just that – private.

All event data will be de-identified and processed in aggregate before it’s used for analysis. "

It sounds like they plan on releasing the technical details in the coming days/weeks. I’m curious how its de-identified and processed.

    Yeah this is what I don’t get. They already hold your most precious secrets and now you don’t trust them with a telemetry system?! Seems an odd order of concerns to me.

      Telemetry, even scrubbed, can provide enough meta data to de-anonomize the user. If the goal is to reduce your threat vectors, than it’s a valid concern.

      Given data breeches are increasing, the less data that is collected the better.
