If you ever send anything, data are anonymized.
Developers use it to be able to evaluate their research (PhD) work. It is a requirement in the research field.
By sending the anonymized data, you help developers to understand how their tools are used.
In particular, I am aware of Spotter, Quality Assistant, GT tools, and Roassal.
