\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.

\section1 Collecting Usage Statistics
The Telemetry plugin uses the
\l{https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kuserfeedback/html/index.html}
{KUserFeedback} framework to collect the usage data. The library
has been designed from the user data privacy point of view and
\QC respects the same privacy rules.
No personal data, such as names, IP addresses, MAC addresses, or project
and path names are collected. However, QUuid objects are used to identify

back to the actual values from which they were generated.
The data is transmitted to the backend storage using an encrypted
connection. The storage is located in the same Heroku backend as the
Qt installer backend. Physically, data is stored in the Amazon cloud.

\section1 Reporting Crashes
You can enable \QDS to report crashes automatically. \QDS uses Google
Crashpad to collect crashes and report them to the Sentry backend storage
for processing. The purpose of Crashpad is to capture application state in
sufficient detail to allow developers to diagnose and, where possible, fix
the issue causing the crash. Crashpad may capture arbitrary contents from
the memory of a crashed process, including user sensitive information, URLs,
and other content provided by the users. The collected reports are used for
the sole purpose of fixing bugs. For more information on Crashpad, see the
\l {https://chromium.googlesource.com/crashpad/crashpad/+/master/doc/overview_design.md}
{documentation} by Google. For more information on processing and storing
of the collected data, see \l {https://sentry.io/security/}
{Security & Compliance} by Sentry.
To enable sending crash reports, select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol
Options > \uicontrol Environment > \uicontrol System
(\uicontrol {Qt Design Studio} > \uicontrol Preferences > \uicontrol
Environment > \uicontrol System on \macos), and then select
\uicontrol {Enable crash reporting}.
