Let's not panic here! Funny to see people worry so much about privacy from a tool that collects technical data anonymously when a gazillion agencies (especially NSA) keep track of every email and phone call we do!!!  ----------------- Benoît St-Jean Yahoo!

Personally, I know of work places where this is not going to be allowed. I understand they need the data, but you need to be able to turn it off. A secure facility would not allow the transmission out in any case.

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.

I just found a file named org.pharo.global-identifiers.ston in my preferences folder. It contains a #secretUUID and a #computerUUID. :-( What is this information used for? More importantly, how can I turn it off?
