Doc: Update info about collecting user statistics
The options are gone; users can just turn data collection on or off. Moved the QDS info into the qtdesignstudio folder and remove Qt Creator specific information. Updated screenshots. Task-number: QTCREATORBUG-31510 Change-Id: Ie9f252b972bd7ee176723afd8a2328b301e65a2e Reviewed-by: Eike Ziller <eike.ziller@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Kai Köhne <kai.koehne@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Thomas Hartmann <thomas.hartmann@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Mats Honkamaa <mats.honkamaa@qt.io>

\title Collect usage statistics
|
||||
|
||||
When you install \QC with \QOI, you can allow it to collect pseudonymous
|
||||
information about your system and \QC use. If you decline, the telemetry
|
||||
plugin is not installed and no usage statistics are collected.
|
||||
|
||||
\section1 Principles of data collection
|
||||
|
||||
No personal data, such as names, IP addresses, MAC addresses, or project
|
||||
and path names are collected. However, QUuid objects are used to identify
|
||||
data records that belong to one user. The objects cannot be converted
|
||||
back to the actual values from which they were generated.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
\l{https://www.qt.io/terms-conditions/privacy-and-security}
|
||||
{Qt Appendix for Privacy and Security}.
|
||||
|
||||
\QC respects the same privacy rules.
|
||||
|
||||
\section1 Turn on data collection
|
||||
|

To allow the telemetry plugin to collect data, go to \preferences >

\uicontrol {Send pseudonymous usage statistics}.

When you install \QC as a part of Qt installation, you are asked whether
|
||||
you allow it to collect pseudonymous information about your system and \QC
|
||||
use. If you decline, the plugin is not installed and no analytics data is
|
||||
collected.
|
||||
|
||||
If you accept, all collected and transmitted data is fully transparent to
|
||||
you. You can change the settings for collecting and transmitting data any
|
||||
time. By default, no data is collected and you have to select a telemetry
|
||||
mode for data collection to begin.
|
||||
|
||||
|

|

To enable the use of the telemetry plugin, you need to select \uicontrol

launch \QDS. If the splash screen does not appear, you can enable the

telemetry plugin by selecting \uicontrol Help > \uicontrol {About Plugins} >
