--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
User is prompted on Crash recovery if they explicitly want to submit the
Breakpad generated minidump crash report. No personally identifiable details
are included beyond the cURL post details of the originating IP.

User has explicit control over "Collect usage data and send it to The Document
Foundation"--it is disabled by default on installation. It is only enabled by
user action in the Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice General panel, or by setting
an environment variable "LO_COLLECT_USAGE" true. There is no personally
identifiable information beyond source IP and system network name, otherwise it
is just tallys of command/control usage per document per session.

IMHO the user is sufficiently advised, abd providing more complex user
notification in the GUI is _visual noise_. IMHO => WF

Otherwise, TDF Project and LibreOffice privacy statements (which admittedly do
not address crash reporintg and usage data) are the purview of the TDF Board
and their legal advisers. Discussion on appropriate ML no in the BZ --> MOVED

For BoD -- if you take this up could you provide a suitable link to the
discussion.
